    Massive space solar collectors that could beam down energy to units with microwaves, or use the directed energy as an orbital weapon.

      dual use, I like it. nothing is wasted in sustainable war.

      you could also use space mirrors, 1) to reduce the temperature on the planet, 2) create on demand night and day anywhere in the world at any time, 3) as a melty space laser

      you could deny your enemy sunlight, make their climate 10x hotter or green deserts or light your greenhouses. melt a shipping lane through the north pole.
