Energy sources

Energy production will be critical for the Spacescraper’s existence. Initially it will rely on discreet photovoltaic solar arrays for meeting local consumption needs. With technological evolution larger solar farms will merge to form a continuous energy harvesting strips. They will both satisfy the increased power demand and serve as a radiation blocking shield for the Spacescraper.
Another promising energy source will be the nuclear fusion. Weightlessness and lack of space limitations on the Spacescraper will allow for building particle accelerators of new scale solving scientific problems encountered on Earth. If this development takes place the Spacescraper will become the major energy supplier for the entire Earth. Space cables sharing the same geostationary concept as the Space elevator will transmit the energy back to the planet’s surface.
