  • Sort of? It seems to me that Darpa has only been able to transfer about 800 watts over a 5 mile distance. A nuclear power plant produces something, like, 500 megawatts? This wouldn’t be enough to justify the power production at that scale, not to mention I’m skeptical of any wireless solution that wouldn’t drop some energy efficiency and it would obviously require constant visibility which would also need manned guidance.

    If this weren’t Elon musk, I would say producing liquid hydrogen wouldn’t be a terrible way to at least save unused power, but then you have a whole different host of problems.
