Quote: "Space-based solar power may become an important energy source as fossil-fuel supplies dwindle in midcentury: A single 1-kilometer-wide solar array could collect enough power in a year to rival the entire worlds oil reserves." This is wrong. It would in fact only produce enough to cover the oil usage of the US alone for about a day. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk The shrub is a plant.
