Synopsis:
This book creates awareness of the potential global benefits of power from space. It discusses space power options based on wireless power transmission (WPT) to meet global energy demands and to reduce reliance on fossil and nuclear fuels. It also discusses the current and emerging international regulatory and legal regimes to enable the realization of the solar power satellite concept Earth orbits, and on the moon.
Review: "...The volume is a valuable addition to the technology and sustanability literature. In addressing the issue of global energy sustainability, it goes beyond analysis and expressions of concern. It stands among the few books that point to a piece of the answer..." -- Interdisciplinary Science Reviews, Volume 24, Number 3, 1999
