Avoiding politics but considering all available power sources to date, one engineer says he’s convinced that a smooth transition to sustainable energy must include all of the above for a certain period of time, but the commitment to controlling climate change will eventually require space-based multi-GW solar panels
April 17, 2019
The United States can maintain energy independence and still hold off much of the effects of global warming while still enjoying stable economic and civil systems through planning, ingenuity and use of new technologies — among them, space-based geo-synchronized solar panels that can link electricity to the Earth below along with sustainable electric power to generate synthetic carbon fuels.
That’s the contention in a proposal by a professional engineer and Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, who says he believes the US has appropriately avoided joining the Paris Climate Agreement but still has an obligation to address climate change and can do so efficiently by the year 2100….
