Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Eevblog disagrees.

The catch is that the reflected sunlight from a small area on the reflector will be spread over a very large area by the time is reaches earth, so the energy each panel could collect is to small to make economic sense.

Venture capital is composed of in no small part ignorant jackasses playing with other people's money.
