It may sound like a sci-fi vision, but Japan's
space agency is dead serious: by 2030 it wants to collect solar
power in space and zap it down to Earth, using laser beams or

oil imports, Japan has long been a leader in solar and other
renewable energies and this year set ambitious greenhouse gas
reduction targets.
