DEW is such garbage. A directed energy beam from space would have to be so massively powerful to vaporize a building or cause any significant damage on the ground. The amount of energy required to vaporize even a small building would be orders of magnitude higher than any currently available technology.
The Earth's atmosphere would scatter and disperse the energy beam, reducing its effectiveness over long distances. This makes it very difficult to focus the energy on a specific target from space. Any beam that could vaporize, say, a building, would absolutely 100% leave a detectable column of super-heated air that would be visible even to the naked eye. It's just absurd.
And, even with the most advanced technology, energy transmission from space to the ground would result in significant energy losses due to absorption and scattering by the Earth's atmosphere. This would make it difficult to generate the intense energy required to vaporize a building or cause significant damage. The only way this would work is if a satellite is in a very low orbit, meaning that it's only in the target's window for a matter of minutes, meaning that it would have to discharge and deliver this energy very fast and very accurately. You'd be able to see this thing from the ground. It would be bigger than the ISS!
I could go on. But we need to get away from the logic that *Gov't is 30 years more advanced than we think ---> therefore whatever I imagine is possible!" logic.
The Earth's atmosphere would scatter and disperse the energy beam, reducing its effectiveness over long distances.
So this is actually not true anymore. Adaptive optics have allowed telescopes on earth to reach deep into the stars where they couldnt before. Same tech can be applies to dew to "ride the beam" through the perturbations in the atmosphere....

Beyond this, haarp can do this type of thing without the need for satellites
