Ah, hopefully you're right that this technology will always be similar to daytime Sun intensity. It really scares the hell out of me
2) the receiving stations are typically huge, antenna farms, and intensity per cm^2 is within tolerable and would not cook eyeballs or focus to a point
3) you would be aware that a vast semi incoherent tuned light source of incredible magnitude, based on fusion power, emits RF all the way up into the optical region and beyond into UV, and can represent a severe threat for only 15 minutes radiation or 'insolation' as it is sometimes called, and has shockingly predictable recurrence on a 24h cycle, except when a small orbital safety screen is in exactly the right place for brief occultations. We've learned to respect the furnace, and it's gravitational effect on us.
