and then transmitted electricity back down to earth
wouldn't that solve all of our energy problems

How do you suppose we transfer the power from the moon to Earth? A giant extension chord?
Shipping dead batteries to the moon, and then shipping charged batteries back here would be far from efficient. We'd likely end up spending more resources than we'd ever gain.

yeah because that's how we get our energy from the sun. with a giant ass extention chord and space batteries

Actually dude, they figured out a way to transfer power without cords. I will look for a source on that

We get energy from the sun by using solar panels on Earth. But if the solar panels are on the moon, the energy will be on the moon.
So what are you suggesting? We use the solar panels on the moon to power a giant fluorescent light, and use solar panels on earth to receive that power? That's what you implied, anyway, when you suggested that receiving energy from the sun and moon would be done in the same way.

I'm suggesting that the energy from the moon would just be added to the energy from the sun, we wouldn't need to go up there and grab some energy then come back down

That's pretty interesting. Not sure how I feel about electricity being beamed all over the world though. Not until some serious research is done.

How do you suggest the energy from the moon be added to the energy from the sun?

If we eventually start colonizing the moon there will definitely be solar power farms because they're most efficient in a vacuum. Might take a long ass time to get there though because humans are so silly.

The energy on the moon comes from the sun.

If we can gather ALL the sun's emitted energy here on earth we'd be dead.
