^yes, and i never said it would not when i agreed with you that we would use what ever is viable at the time, weather it be mw's, a form of radiation, or any other form.

Isn't that a contradiction?
you're saying there will definitely be major problems, yet at the same time that it may be viable?

^no, that we will use any method that is viable at the time. (well as viable as we have) . How is that contradicting myself? Im not saying that there will still not be problems, but my point is, we may find a way to get rid of some, or all of those problems, so we would use that way. So at the time when we do that, we would use the viable option. You getting me?

my argument is and has been, that it is possible but extremely unpractical.

Do you have experimental evidence for that?

Here is a tip, if you care about post count go into the building and buying section of the forums and answer noob questions 24/7. You will be doing a service and wracking up posts at the same time.
Ya, he said that like 2 pages ago. We don't know till we try. And I wouldn't say we shouldn't try until... wait for it.... down below
No, I haven't seen any.

Your using burden of proof. Not exactly the most fair of arguments because you absolve yourself of all responsibility for proving your argument. In essence you are saying " I am right until proven wrong"
Well I contest that. Prove to me it is practical. Do you have experimental evidence for that? Because so far you have been asking empty questions.

Now that's a strawman.
I'm not saying "it definitely is 100% feasible"
I'm saying scientific investigation should be done to see if it's feasible. And I'm saying that your argument doesn't really hold.
You have said that there will definitely be major problems with efficiency, and that there will definitely be major problems with interference from the atmosphere or planes.
I posted arguments to show why yours were invalid. That doesn't mean I hold the stance that it is definitely 100% feasible. I don't. Hence I'm not holding a position that requires proof.
Science: the process of finding facts using empirical evidence
Hypothesis: an idea posited that has yet to be tested
Whether a hypothesis is worth considering or testing depends on whether the idea is falsifiable, and the likelihood of it generating scientific knowledge.
In this case, the hypothesis is the idea of using solar panels in orbit, to then transfer their power to Earth, without using wires.
I've simply tried to show here that the idea, given our current knowledge, might be possible, and that it warrants further testing.
That, and I just saw your argument against it and it didn't seem to add up.
