Luna Ring is a speculative engineering project which consists in a series of solar generators , disposed around the equator of the Moon , that could send the generated electric energy back to the Earth via microwaves from the near side of the Moon . The project was proposed by Japanese construction firm Shimizu Corporation , after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami destroyed the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant , creating public opposition against nuclear electric energy . Until then , Japan had relied heavily on nuclear power
