The most promising energy generation technology

[Grey Acumen]

actually, I think the energy from the space elevator is more closely tied to gravity, atmospheric differences at the different alititudes, and the earth's rotation. Like I said, I don't entirely understand it, but I am fairly certin the sun is actually entirely seperate from that, but certainly an easy thing that could be added to it once you get up to that height, where you don't have to worry about clouds interfering.

And Soleron is correct about his Nuclear Power issues. Heck, even Nuclear Fission isn't that dangerous, provided that the plant is built and run PROPERLY. nearly all disasters have been caused by people being utterly retarded or tryign to shortcut instead of following proper procedures.
