## Resource

China has made major progress in its "Zhuiri" or "Sun Chasing" project, moving a step closer toward building a space solar power station. Why do we need to harvest solar power in space? What's the biggest challenge in turning that vision into reality? Climate Watch host Zhao Ying speaks with Zhang Fan, Associate Professor of Astronomy at Beijing Normal University.
