I wrote an article on space-based solar power recently that is in WIRED this week. It is also in Ars Technica.

We might actually help save the planet if we spent the same money capturing the 5 times more energy than we need currently hitting the earth's surface. Beaming energy into the earth's protective layer will only warm it more and is a terrible idea.

Talking about a time when there may be no planet (so planet scientists say) isn't useful. 

The only benefit is  It keeps your name before the public and assures some scientists jobs..

Honestly, I look at it as another "Star Wars" defense system, distraction, while good old RR had you looking for LASERs in the sky, he was derailing/killing every RE initiative he could here on the ground. Same thing here. Get them looking up while you delay and obstaclize / sabotage all RE on the ground.

The tactics always remain the same. Misdirection, delay, lie.

Bill, I don't see any evidence that the European Space Agency or Space Solar are attempting to sabotage solar activities on the ground.
