cfrjlr's Journal: Global warming - oil - military spending

Hi Yog,

I agree with the basis of your proposal. USA is spending a trillion dollars a year to defend oil fields. This exceeds the value of the oil by several multiples. For a fraction of the same we could become independent of oil completely.

Regarding putting: "...solar cells out in the desert..."

A solar power satellite rectenna would deliver 5 to ten times as much power per hectare to the grid than solar panels on the Earth's surface.
