Ecological limitation to the energy transfer from outer space to Earth

Energy production development on Earth is restricted by a number of limitations. It has been shown previously-by different techniques that are represented in this report-that the limiting total power should not exceed 10¹¹ kW, i.e. 0.1% of the total solar energy flux upon our plant. This power is required in order to prevent a global catastrophe for humanity by the middle of the next Century, since the world´s population will be equal to 10¹⁰ human beings, i.e. it will be necessary to have 10 kW of energy per person. One of the most reasonable and promising ways out of such a situation is the transfer of Earth´s main power production facilities and power consumers into outer space, research into which is currently underway
