Build a satellite with an obscene amount of capacitance

Attach a normal amount of solar panels

Install Raytheon's 50kW laser, equipped with a focusing lens tuned for orbit altitude

Tell NASA it's an earth observation satellite

Wait for a dry spell and/or high winds someplace convenient on earth's surface and zap something made of carbon. Just be glad they aren't aiming for the tops of heads... Yet.
