Slashdot: Astrium Hopes To Test Grabbing Solar Energy From Orbit
BBC News: EADS Astrium develops space power concept

Critics, though, have always pointed to multiple hurdles - to the cost of launching and assembling large solar stations in orbit, to the losses in efficiency in conversion, and to the safety issues surrounding some wireless transmission methods, particularly those that use microwaves. Astrium says the latter can be addressed by using infrared lasers which, if misdirected, would not risk "cooking" anyone in their path.

This artical says that they will use infrared lasers, that won't cook anyone. Isn't Infrared radiation the level of light that can come to and from heat? Enlighten me please, somebody.
