Actually, the most exciting story in a long time: Solar power collected in space and beamed to Earth. Sound like fiction? No, the technology is available now. Expensive? Projected cost of .08-.10 per kilowatt hour--competitive today.
When I read this on the Op-Ed page of the NYT, I thought maybe it was a satire or some wild-eyed dreamer, but the author, O. Glenn Smith, is a former manager of the International Space Station project at NASA.
This is one that clearly deserves further consideration.
