| #2 I recommend Lee Correy's Manna(1984) where the orbiting solar powersats were being diverting to stealthed high-energy laser weapon satellites... Lee Correy was a pen name used by G. Harry Stine for his fiction. Book was also about a Libertarian state in Africa bucking the established power structure. |

| #1 Imagine, for a second, CCP using it as a weapon circling the earth. Or as a commercial venture to sell energy to various cities or countries. It also brings back memories of a ScFi novel written by Isaac Asimov or Arthur C. Clarke? Of a Space Elevator, which failed, collapses and wipes out multiple Countries with 22,000+ miles of materials. |
