The resources of space can save the earth.
Solar power harvested in space and transmitted to earth can eliminate man-made greenhouse gas emissions completely. In other words, space solar power can end the human contribution to global warming.
The incoming energy is like the harmless microwaves your cellphone depends on. You can graze animals and grow crops beneath a rectenna.
Space solar power can end the use of fossil fuels for energy generation. Completely.
Says India’s eleventh president, Dr. A.P.J. Kalam, solar power harvested in space, can lift two billion of earth’s poorest out of poverty.
Concludes Dr. Kalam, “humanity needs a great vision to forget all its conflicts and move towards a common goal of peace and prosperity.” Solar power harvested in space can bring “a new era of peace, prosperity and abundance for all mankind.”
