[Green] Fwd: NATIONAL SPACE SOCIETY TO ANNOUNCE GROUND-BREAKING GREEN ENERGY SOLUTION

[George S Mycroft]

It sounds like national control (as opposed to citizen power) and expensive, when there are ample solar resources here on earth if we would but use them properly.  Is this such a wonderful prospect or a way to divert funds into more research rather than addressing the core issues of polluting power generation??  My usual approach about such things is:  FOLLOW THE MONEY!!............
