Last week we brought you the wonderful work being done in fundraising for solar power by CORENA (Citizens Own Renewable Energy Network Australia). CORENA&#8217;s ethos of operating through small, community-based donations for solar projects is close to our heart here at the SQHQ bunker.<\/p>\n<p>However this week we&#8217;re going the big picture. The bloody BIG picture.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re talking of a project to solve the world&#8217;s energy problems by <a href=\"http:\/\/guardianlv.com\/2013\/11\/moon-as-a-source-of-renewable-energy-possible-says-japanese-firm\/\" target=\"_blank\">putting a solar power plant on the Moon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s right and with many interesting ideas that come from left field, this one comes from the land of the rising solar energy source: Japan.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Support for alternative energy sources has grown since 2011 since the tsunami that caused so much havoc with the now-infamous Fukushima nuclear power plant. Now the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shimz.co.jp\/english\/\" target=\"_blank\">Shimizu Corp <\/a>&#8212; whose board obviously contains a number of wild, free-thinking members &#8212; has proposed a 250 mile (400km) wide solar panel belt around the Moon to power the Earth&#8217;s energy needs. The band will generate a staggering 13,000 terawatts of energy per year, which will be transmitted via microwave or laser transmissions to a series of receiving stations on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA shift from economical use of limited resources to the unlimited use of clean energy is the ultimate dream of mankind,\u201d Shimizu says in discussing the plan. \u201cThe Luna Ring &#8230; translates this dream into reality through ingenious ideas coupled with advanced space technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ingenious indeed. The proposal goes on to suggest that construction on the project could commence in 2035.<\/p>\n<p>Now those solar fans who are science fiction fans may have already thought this through in a War of the Worlds kind of way. After all building a solar power plant on the Moon is putting the ultimate in alternative energy sources in a place well away from the solar narks, doubters, elected chair polishers and fossil fuel vested interests. That is until polluting energy sources are discovered just below the lunar surface folks!<\/p>\n<p>Can it work though? Is it indeed the ultimate place to generate alternative energy sources for the gasping Earth? Or does it sound more like the ultimate in quixotic ventures? The challenges are enormous according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.isciencetimes.com\/articles\/6437\/20131130\/japans-plan-solar-power-plant-moon-work.htm\" target=\"_blank\">this article in iScience Times<\/a> though perhaps, just maybe, not insurmountable. If achieved the corporation will have solved the Earth&#8217;s energy and climate crises in one stroke of genius. We&#8217;ll keep an eye out for further developments on this for you readers, however in the meantime we&#8217;d like your opinion on this proposed (mis?) adventure either here or over at our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As regular readers will have picked up, here at SQHQ we enjoy covering the latest innovation in alternative energy sources.
