Even Snopes.com missed the mark. MTG did not theorize. She referred to a real experiment proposed by PG&E. But, like many, MTG had no an idea what it was all about, and did not trouble herself to find out, or to have someone do that for her. That is IMO what makes her unsuitable for the function she has. Laziness of the brain.

Apparently Snopes could not be bothered either. They could easily have googled solar energy-CA-space. Bytheway I just did that and found a report dated June 1, 2023:

"A space solar power prototype that was launched into orbit in January is operational and has demonstrated its ability to wirelessly transmit power in space and to beam detectable power to Earth for the first time."

Assertion about (mental) health is indeed a necessity when it comes to military and police. It should be not only be done when selecting, it should be repeated at least every two years. We have too many insecure and nervous police men and -women in the streets, leading to shootings that should not have happened. Google police shooting-Dylan Noble.

Psychiatric evaluations should be mandatory when it comes to the highest position in the country. The Prez is also the Commander-in-Chief. The brains of candidates should be scanned for (age related) damage too. We have the knowledge, we have equipment, why not use it ?

Yes, of course political candidates should be screened for mental health but this will never, ever pass today’s Congress. It seems for our own mental health we might concentrate on things that we can accomplish.
