Default Re: Solar power for the future -- cool concept

This has been discussed since the 1970s at least. Aren't the potential health effects of high power non-ionizing radiation like microwaves still in question? I was under the impression that collection antennas would need to be isolated from populated areas and fail safe mechanisms would need to be in place in case the beam went off target.
