Hmm, if people don't like microwaves, maybe a long extension cord,
for the Earth, not for the SPS, would be a good way to deliver the
power down to here from the SPS. How about a plug at the North Pole
on a swivel, with superconductors running SPS --> NP --> power grid?
(Don't jump on me, it's late at night and I'm in a strange mood after
playing Go all night. Besides, it's not totally absurd is it?)
