space-based solar power theme
Technology is used in outer space to collect solar energy.
Notes
The upshot of doing it in space is, typically, that there is less interference from the atmosphere and longer exposure times to the sun.
Examples
In the short film "Libra" (1978), the overly regulated and mismanaged Earth society is unable to generate enough energy to meet its own needs, so suffers from rolling blackouts.
