1: Substitute for massive arrays of solar panels, and it is not everybody that likes dealing with reactors.
Quoted
Eh, you know the real end game substitute for Solar panels is the nuclear reactor.
2: Sending electromagnetic waves that has a behavior nearly equal to light, except for carrying MUCH more energy.
And how do you expenct to send the energy from the satellite to earth? assuming if we go by logic that the satellite must be in space... or at least pretty much f**king high up.
Tier4 - kinda futuristic, not needed to be complicated, just expensive.
Also Solar arrays its even less stupid than this quite honestly, no need to make it overly complicated >.>
One last thing, Logic says i dont have enough arms to make enough facepalms at the only 1 eu/t lost in the transmition... I mean do you know how much distance is there above the (Ozone thingy forgot the english name lol) to sea level?

1: alternative substitute1; Nuclear its the substitute that Alblaka chose, but people dont like things they actually have to properly maintain so they would rather keep building solar generators without giving a fuck about their server health.
2: im gonna wait for someone more tech savvy to tell you how Electromagnetic "Rays" are illogical/impossible or not.

1: So IC2 end game is make a Nuclear Reactor... And that's it? No future? No advancements? Nothing else? Reactor, done?1; Nuclear its the substitute that Alblaka chose, but people dont like things they actually have to properly maintain so they would rather keep building solar generators without giving a fuck about their server health.

Suggestion main idea is not EU teleportation, but an alternative for 512 tier1 solar panels.
2: Al already said no to EU teleportation, so the point is moot.
changed end game to late game on main post.

You must do this a lot because almost every post you make here is sour and derogatory.(If my message have too much bitching in it, its because i have 24 hrs+ awake, that kind of thing gets your mood pretty sour)

With that tether, you've effectively got a high powered wind generator :-)have it work on a principle similar to a mining thingy(forgot the name)
my point is, have the "satellite" go up, and in its trail it leaves a cable of your choice(copper, gold, fiber, etc..)
and in the GUI, there will be a box where you can put your solar panels(more solar panel= more EU) that will be deployed
now seeing as how this thing will be in Pseudo-space, the panels shall run 24/7, but it compensates by having that energy loss(depending on cable)
seems like a sound idea no?

It's time...
*grabs sunglasses*
FOR TOASTING THAT GODDAMN LIGHTNINGROD SUGGESTING HUNTING ME SINCE INTRODUCTION OF WEATHER TO MC!

BAM. DIE, STALKER!

Nothing to see here, please proceed.

I already asked if he had any intentions to do so- And he said no.With that tether, you've effectively got a high powered wind generator :-)
Bug cpw about adding Compact Windmills to his Compact Solars mod!

It has become a little stubbly. Implement facial hair growth in IC²? Vision continuously grows more furry until you shave. (approx once every 2 minecraft days ;P)

We have teleporters which are futuristic, why we can't "teleport" energy? [actually a powerful laser is possible to build, it is just extremely expensive]
Science would state that you would need a ****ing powerful laser to actually transmit power from a sattelite to earth. Like maybe 80 mining lasers. And then you would lose a LOT more EU, you would probably lose ~50%. Also, Advanced Machines addon has compressed down solar arrays for higher tiers.

my idea is for core IC² (not that it can't be added to rocket science) and helps servers by reducing those tons of lagging solar panels into a few "invisible" satellites orbiting earth.
, but i can't deal with java, i wouldn't be able to code something like that.
