Space based solar power is the only rational source of base load, sustainable power generation for the 21st century and beyond.
Fusion is a pipe dream that's been 20 years away for the past 40 years.
Ground base solar is only available, on average, 12 hours a day, so you have to install twice the capacity you need so you can store half of it.
Wind power is extremely ugly and only available when the wind blows hard enough. Have you noticed that the rich environmentalists don't want their ocean view spoiled be wind turbines?
The eco-freaks will never sit still for nuclear power.
Coal has a bad name and is a resource that will eventually run out.
Oil is too valuable as a chemical feedstock to burn.
Hydropower modifies the environment too much and kills migrating fish.
Making biofuels from food crops is an incredibly stupid idea. Burning food is even worse than eating your seed corn.
Do the math Michael. Find the area of a sphere with a radius of 27000 miles. Then find the area of the surface of the earth. You'll find that the sunlight being intercepted is tiny.
Learn how CO2 forcing supposedly works. You'll find that your arguement is spurious even if the IPCC is correct.
Space based solar power can supply every kilowatt of energy we need to power our homes and industry. It can supply enough energy that we create liquid fuels to power our aircraft, and our cars and our trains and our ships.
We must move power generation and resource mining off the earth in to space.
Our great grandchildren will either be members of a solar system spanning civilization with indefinite life spans or poor hunter-gatherer nomads living short, brutish lives.
