Beam It Down -- Bill Whittle

How about a kilowatt of power by laser to a Starlink-like antenna on your roof?

I'm a half hour into today's Episode 2644. He's debating destroying the existence of an apostrophe.
The problem is having already lost half the years I could have been leveraging cyborg tech... and I don't expect it to be widely adopted for another quarter century or more.

I was just watching Bill's "What We Saw" on USSR. He's such a good story teller; nearly as good as Mike Rowe.

Beamable power is only useful for locations so remote and incapable of being powered locally, which are mission critical.
