Japan has serious plans to send a solar-panel-equipped satellite into space that could wirelessly beam a gigawatt-strong stream of power down to earth and power nearly 300,000 homes.

Just happened to have stumbled across this, excuse me if its only me that missed it. Didn't space com do any story on this?
I've been saying this is the kind of space investment we need but thought I was just too far out there and such ideas were too far fetched because NASA doesn't have such plans and instead building moon colonies is far more realistic and beneficial.
Apparently the Japanese prioritize differently, so while the US is dune buggying on the moon the Japanese are investing in their energy future.
