The 'Land of the Rising Sun' embarks on ambitious Space-based Solar Energy project



...It wants to collect solar power in space and zap it down to Earth, using laser beams or microwaves...

...The solar cells would capture the solar energy, which is at least five times stronger in space than on Earth, and beam it down to the ground through clusters of lasers or microwaves...

Weapon possibilities, sci fi age indeed!
Deflect the ray to another land and engineer climate changes to suit your ends.

Anand, are you the guy who had a nice blog a few years ago, where there was also a little bit of stories from Mahabharata & your inference from it?(eg. the rat/cat/hunter story?)

If so, please do some writing again in your blog.
