PG&E Makes Deal For Solar Power From Space 392

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday April 14, 2009 @08:15AM from the just-watch-out-for-the-shadow-square-wire dept.

N!NJA writes "California's biggest energy utility announced a deal Monday to purchase 200 megawatts of electricity from a startup company that plans to beam the power down to Earth from outer space, beginning in 2016. Solaren would generate the power using solar panels in Earth orbit and convert it to radio-frequency transmissions that would be beamed down to a receiving station in Fresno, PG&E said. From there, the energy would be converted into electricity and fed into PG&E's power grid."

I live in Louisville and am also serviced by Insight. I can confirm that the 20mbit service is quite good and I regularly reach that speed on bittorrent. Other than their sometimes dodgy customer service, I've always been quite happy with them.

Feed Science Daily: Despite Their Safety, IUDs Are Underused In Developed Countries (sciencedaily.com)

From feed by sdfeed on Friday August 31, 2007 @10:12AM

Misconceptions around intrauterine contraceptive devices mean that they are underused in developed countries, despite being a safe and effective form of contraception, says a women's health expert. Side effects such as pain and heavy bleeding are common reasons for discontinuing use of an IUD within the first year, but can usually be managed with appropriate pain relief.
