New company looks at Space Based Solar Power

"Is space-based solar power (SBSP) a technology whose time has come? The
concept and even some of the hardware for harnessing energy from the sun with orbiting solar arrays has been around for some time. But the
biggest challenge for making the concept a reality, says entrepreneur
Peter Sage of Space Energy, Inc., is that SBSP has never been
commercially viable. But that could be changing. Space Energy, Inc. has
assembled an impressive team of scientists, engineers and business
people, putting together what Sage calls "a rock-solid commercial
platform" for their company. And given the current looming issues of
growing energy needs and climate change, Space Energy, Inc. could be in
the right place at the right time."
