However, the Galapagos has no infrastructure and the nation that owns the real-estate is unlikely to invite other powerful nation-states into its back yard.Goodfellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12912234629520552967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621800535913907115.post-2368140887155749272008-02-24T08:51:00.000-08:002008-02-24T08:51:00.000-08:00Another consideration for site deployment is the p...Another consideration for site deployment is the power system for the lifter. We anticipate using free electron lasers to beam power to receptors on the lifter. These can be anywhere within line of sight - some locations will be optimal for this, some not.<BR/><BR/>We - and Dr. Edwards in his NIAC study - picked on a location west of the Galapagos because it has the calmest weather and fewest incidence of lightning on the planet.<BR/><BR/>Other considerations aside this is because we have no idea what effects weather and lightning will have. No doubt as progress is made and more tests are done before deployment other sites will come in for consideration.Brian Dunbarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12952894032434503816noreply@blogger.com
