Plus this article from Science Magazine about the same topic that provides just a bit more information about process.

Isn’t that just a further recipe for disaster? Isn’t that just additional energy that will turn into heat sooner or later and heat up the planet?
If I’m not mistaken regulat solar is one of the few energy sources that doesn’t have that problem and there’s plenty sun to go around, so how is this helping anyone? (I guess it might have some applications in space?)You’re being ridiculous, a lemmy luddite. What could possibly go wrong with a multi-megawatt death ray aimed at the earth from space?
Get your facts straight! I’m not a lemmy ludite, I’m a kbin krazy!
That being said, the whole heat thing does seem to be a thing, even if it’s much less significant than the CO² heating effect and not a super big deal yet.
Could be a useful local effect. “Come live in Death Ray City, Nunavut! Beautiful weather year round! Very few death ray related deaths every year!”
I think you, and others here, are forgetting the amazing up side to a country that controls a giant space death ray. It’s kind of like asking Iran why they keep trying to make nuclear weapons. I dunno, why would a nation want the ability to surgically melt building size targets anywhere on the hemisphere?
