Sim City Tech

Umm.. i'm pretty sure that SIM CITY already came out with technology a few years ago. Do you remember building the orbiting satellite that would beam microwave energy back down to earth?
Well it seems that it's a real deal now: http://environment.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn12774&feedId=tech_rss20

A futuristic scheme to collect solar energy on satellites and beam it to Earth has gained a large supporter in the US military. A report released yesterday by the National Security Space Office recommends that the US government sponsor projects to demonstrate solar-power-generating satellites and provide financial incentives for further private development of the technology.
I suppose this is better research then gay bombs:

In one sentence of the document it was suggested that a strong aphrodisiac could be dropped on enemy troops, ideally one which would also cause "homosexual behavior". The aphrodisiac weapon was described as "distasteful but completely non-lethal".
this could work well in Iraq.
