So my question to you, is which be an easier project to sell, a
demonstration project for a small number of billions over 10 or 15
years, or a really huge project in the high hundreds of billions to
massively displace coal and oil with solar energy from space in under
ten years?
Or perhaps the real question is which of the following is the case?
(1) Your figures and their figures disagree that much, in which
case it might be worthwhile to have someone else independently check
both sets of figures (probably a good idea in \\any\\ case), or
We don't disagree on any figures. I would defer to them if we did,
they are the experts.
(2) There is more on the agenda than simply finding longer-lasting,
less-polluting sources of energy to replace oil.
I am sure of that. The entire community seems to have been beaten
down for so long they don't know what direction up is.
I really don't think the initiative is going to come from the
engineering community any more than it did back before Kennedy
decided we would go to the moon.
