I believe that large scale economics of the pv industry will soon make it a very trusted and economically viable technological solution to climate change. In 3-4 years the grid parity will arive in many places in the world and then there will be no reason to burn coal anymore.

It's been in the concept stage for 40 years. There has been very rapid progress in the last year toward getting it to work. "This type of solar power plant has the potential to solve most of the world’s energy problems if it can be fully developed." The economics of a suborbital first stage and laser ablation propulsion to GEO require reaching production rates of a GW per day or higher. Such rates not only solve energy problems, 30 TW by 2040, but can reach level so high (50 TW) that the excess carbon in the air can be put back in the ground as synthetic oil. http://www.nss.org/settlement/ssp/library/CO2andSpaceResources.ppt Keith Henson “The space solar power plant, when out of the concept stage, could deliver usable power close to 100% of the time.”
