They should patent the space based solar power station.

Yes. They actually got a freaking patent for this. In 1973.

47 years later, I’m still waiting to see it. I guess the 20 year patent rights has now expired.

The key thing missing is an actual solar based power station.

They should also patent a time machine while they’re at it. Since it’s not like they actually need a real working time machine to secure such a patent.
