upper atmospheric effects themselves are better understood, the potential effect of SPS on climate and weather cannot be evaluated. One final effect that has been investigated in the current assessment is the inadvertent weather modification likely to be caused by the rectenna's structure coupled with the release of waste heat. From the weather and climate points of view, the rectenna seems likely to have effects comparable with those due to other nonindustrial land-use changes covering the same surface area. That is, local, detectable meteorological effects that probably have little consequence.
