Space solar power could transform the Earth's economy, according to an article in yesterday's N Y Times. 'The idea is for satellites in geostationary orbit to collect the sun's rnergy and convert it into radio waves for transmission to surface stations, where it will be converted into electricity for local power grids.' It appears there are several companies that might achieve this. This is the first I have heard of this. It could really hasten the wide use of solar energy.
