Communication satellites are a $144 billion industry. Is there any space-based industry that
could possibly beat that market? 'Solar Power Satellites' shows why and how the space satellite
industry will soon begin expanding its market from relaying signals to Earth to generating
energy in space and delivering it to the ground as electricity. In all industrialized nations
energy demand is growing exponentially. In the developing world the need for energy is as
basic as food and water. The Sun's energy is available everywhere and it is non-polluting. As
business plans demonstrate its technical feasibility commercial potential and environmental
acceptability every country on Earth will look to space for the power it needs.
