How is the power generated by BrightSource Energy transmitted to these users?

FORBES: Mega U.S. Solar Project Threatened by Unlikely Foe

The problem is that the energy is transmitted in all directions, which means that power is lost rapidly with distance.

ECONOMIST: Wireless power

Certainly, microwaves would work: a test carried out in 2008 transmitted useful amounts of microwave energy between two Hawaiian islands 148km (92 miles) apart, so penetrating the 100km of the atmosphere would be a doddle.

ECONOMIST: Solar power from space

Energy resources that can be harvested in space for the benefit of Earth include helium-3 that occurs in abundance on both the Moon and asteroids and is ideal for new small fusion plants, as well as solar energy that can be collected and transmitted in concentrated form to Earth.

When excess wind energy is generated, power is often transmitted to these neighboring countries.

She is working on focusing the transmitted beam into a much smaller area, so that less energy is lost along its way.

ECONOMIST: Archaeology

If renewable energy can be produced on the other islands, then it can be transmitted through undersea cable, and hook the Islands together to have a statewide grid rather than a separate grid for each island.

The rule merely says no more than 60 kilowatts of power may be transmitted to or from the car's back wheels, and only 400 kilojoules of energy can be stored for use each lap.
