There's a lot of power out there

According to scientists, a ginormous solar sail could be deployed tens of millions of miles away from Earth to harvest the power of solar winds. This could generate 1 billion billion gigawatts of electricity. That's more than 100 billion times as much power as the Earth currently uses.

The problem is figuring out how to get the power back to Earth.

We also have ginormous brain power if only we would use it, eh? R
