Alright, now I'm feeling pretty hopeful about what power satellites can do for us. Thanks for sharing! I'm less optimistic about the chance of convincing politicians in the West to support something like this. Fossil fuel companies would porbably oppose such a plan vociferously. The best chance might be to persuade government people in a developing country that has more to lose from climate change. That's not to say it couldn't be done... look at the Chinese government, investing far more in wind power than the United States in spite of their dependence on coal. I wonder how much support could be gained from companies that foresee a future in space tourism or asteroid mining? Does the National Space Society have any plans to try to pitch this to anybody? ~E.S. _______________________________________________ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
