I saw at one time in a science book, a long time ago, that there were proposed theories about the future of energy. One of which was about a satalite that would catch solar power and beam it down to earth by some sort of wave. Large metal "nets" would be installed over the cities to receive the waves. Do you know of any kind of waves that have that power to create electricity today? Kaiser
