Scientists think it is possible to have a solar power plant in space and then use microwaves to transmit the power down to earth. In fact, the Discovery and Science Channels teams up and did something with new technologies like that to "fight global warming" but it would be really tricky and really expensive not to mention the national security aspect of it would be terrible. Imagine is someone sent a missile out into space and knocked one of them out.
