island nations should cooperate on space based solar power

island nations in different parts of the world could start cooperation projects to place space based solar power satellites in space to beam enery to receivers in those island nations, 

energy receivers take less space than solar farms 

even if there would be different space based solar power satellites that beamed energy to each island nation, 

those island nations would still benefit from pooling their financial resources to reduce cost of research and development 

and to negotiate better rocket launch prices 

different competing and/or cooperating companies could be used 

it should be weighed into considerations that: 

larger nations in sunny areas has no real need to use space based solar power because they have enough territory for solar farms 

and larger nations in less sunny areas could possibly prefer other energy alternatives than space based solar power 

there are technological issues that makes space based solar power less cost efficient than solar farms
