Ecological impact on the environment from laser space solar power plants in the problem of development and development of the arctic and continental shelf

Space technology is capable of solving the problem of the climate stabilization and the substitution of oil by creating a space solar power plants (SSPP) that redistributes the energy to the Earth. The environmental impact of nuclear, thermal, hydroelectric and laser space solar power plants on the environment is compared. Comparing different methods for transmission of energy (ultrahigh frequency (UHF), laser), and the effectiveness or efficiency of the various stages of transformation. The conclusion is made about the advantages of using laser SSP in comparison with analogues in the problem of development and development of the Arctic and the continental shelf, since environmentally friendly (without chemical toxicity and radiation), cheap energy (at 6 times cheaper than its production on Earth) of any scale is transmitted directly to the area of its consumption and does not require deforestation and non-use of agricultural areas, and other costs associated with the creation of long power lines in the Far North. © 2020, Univelt Inc.
