Mike,
Before anybody gets too excited, the source I read said "by 2040".
Yes, unlike here in the states, the Japanese really do try to plan
that far ahead.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Oops, yes it is 2040.
Prior to launchiung the operational SPS, what is the word on technology
demonstrators being lacunhed in the preceding years ?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It could well be that in the end we will build SPS not primarily for
energy shortage reasons, as was originally envisioned, but for
environmental reasons.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The "High Frontier" covered the risks of global warming and nuclear
power a long time ago.
Although the risk of nuclear power is generally appreciated, the risk of
global warming is not.
What will it take to change public perception on global warming ? This
is probably the last barrier to SPS.
