Solar Power From Space for Earth With the world's population expected
to reach 10 billion by 2050, large increases in energy demand are
predicted at a time of increasing concern about the environmental
problems associated with the production of that energy.

Using a system of Solar Power Satellites first proposed in 1968, this
program presents a possible solution that is both clean and
renewable. This presentation will cover the system architecture, the
engineering challenges, the cost/benefits of such a system, and the
technological advances that have made this concept more attractive
and practical.
