lights up a model city. there s a long way to go from this small demonstration here to sending back solar energy from space. a million times more power needs to be transmitted, and it s got to be sent a million times further. but the engineers here think it could be done. if the energy satellite concept were successfully developed, it would collect solar energy 24 hours a day. scientists have wanted to do this for decades. because unlike solar energy on the ground, which is interrupted by night time and clouds, it generates power around the clock. ignition, liftoff. it s only now it might become cost effective because rockets can be used over and over again. if you could do it from space and i m saying if you could, because we are not yet there, then this would be absolutely fantastic. solar based power from space could really help enormously

years, up to 15 years at the most. my years, up to 15 years at the most. my goodness, and what sort of funding would be required? irate my goodness, and what sort of funding would be required? we are talkin: funding would be required? we are talking about funding would be required? we are talking about gargantuan funding would be required? we are talking about gargantuan size - talking about gargantuan size satellites here to be able to provide power. the recent studies we concluded showed that a development programme to get to the first operational full scale satellite system, including demonstrators on the way, would be in the order of 10- £15 the way, would be in the order of 10 £15 billion or euros. after that, once we have a first operational system, each of these satellites would be in the high billions of pounds, around £10 billions of pounds, around £10 billion each, which to put in context, is the order of what we spend on building a nuclear power station of this size

pallab ghosh has sent this report from munich. it looks like science fiction. imagine robots building vast solar arrays to capture the sun s power. its energy converted into microwaves and beamed to earth, then collected by antennas over a huge area and turned into electricity. it s not science fiction, that it s notjust something on paper or in the lab, it s ready to be deployed at a small scale. and, of course, the challenge with applying this to space based solar power is extending that scale and that power by a dramatic amount, and that will take some time. it s a huge challenge, of course. it s a challenge these scientists are taking up here in munich. in an experiment at the aerospace firm airbus, two kilowatts of power were collected from solar panels and sent wirelessly from this transmitter to a receiver at the other end of the room. and that electricity

something new. let me tell you from personal experience, there is nothing wrong with changing your career in your mid 50s. laughter at the bottom line is this, you need more control over what training your levee can buy. with labour, that is exactly what you will get. and we will devolve the power and money on aduu will devolve the power and money on adult skill budgets too. decisions that drive growth in communities should be made by people with skin in the game. i profoundly believe the people and businesses of birmingham know what training the economy of birmingham needs, and the same is true in wolverhampton and wrexham, peterborough and portsmouth, the next labour government will spread economic power to the grassroots, and our central industrial nation, clean power by 2030, will help us do it.
