[[Dyson Swarms]] are potentially viable, but as of 2026, placing solar energy on the Earth makes most sense. There are companies working on putting datacenters in space [https://www.google.com/search?q=are+there+companies+working+on+datacenters+in+space%3F&source=chrome.ob], such as SpaceX and Google, with Nvidia redesigning for radiative cooling in space. Point: radiation takes only a fraction of a PV panel area, so it is in principle not hard.

	Open source ecology's core work revolves around the distribution of power - as in productive power and economic power. The core question for us is - in the age of AI and automation - who ends up owning the tools of production. If the answer to this question is sound then we can have a Democratic society without existential risk. The trend today is not good, with ultimate [[Power Concentration at the Trillion Dollar Scale]].
