However the first one (power satellites through cheap lift to GEO) is only being discussed in China, and the second one (StartoSolar) will probably go that way as well. It looks like StratoSolar could sell electric power at 1-2 cents per kWh and (under the current price for renewable solar power) pay back the expense of building one in as little as two years. Unfortunately I have no ideas about how to get this going, at least not in the US. I think a rule change favoring longer term investments in physical plant will be needed before anyone will consider any such ideas.
