Will Earth have space-based solar power at scale by 2060?

Resolves YES if the earth's total (known, published) capacity for space-based solar power exceeds 2GW, averaged over 1 hour, any time before the year 2060. This refers to power generated by solar panels in space being transmitted to earth and captured for terrestrial use, at the output of the rectenna/receiver.

This can be satisfied by the sum of multiple systems across multiple nations.

This can be satisfied by the sum total of military LEO power delivery, but only if confirmed/published by corresponding authorities. I anticipate (and would prefer) that this will instead be satisfied by a geostationary system intended primarily for civilian benefit.
