Comments on: Renewable Energy Partnership http://blog.nss.org/?p=992 Blogging for the creation of a spacefaring civilization Tue, 21 May 2013 15:46:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Jake Christensen http://blog.nss.org/?p=992&cpage=1#comment-1283 Jake Christensen Wed, 10 Jun 2009 15:32:53 +0000 http://blog.nss.org/?p=992#comment-1283 International cooperation on renewable energy seems like a no-brainer. By way of disclaimer, my college degree is in English. Still, I read a lot, and my liberal arts brain recognizes common threads. I have seen no broad consensus on what energy source will replace coal and oil. There isn’t consensus. Any global progress on energy/environment issues requires the participation of India and China. Of course! For what it’s worth, I hover over media outlets like The NY Times, Associated Press, and NPR, paying attention to space articles. And for good measure I’ve read “Physics for Future Presidents” by Richard A. Muller. I’m not seeing any buzz for space solar power as an option for earthbound energy consumption. In fact, I wasn’t even familiar with it until I read this blog post a few minutes ago. If it really is viable in the next half century, I sincerely hope to hear more.
