Obama Transition Team Examining Space Solar Power

DynaSoar writes "President-elect Obama's transition team has published for public comment a white paper entitled Space Solar Power (SSP) — A Solution for Energy Independence & Climate Change. The paper was prepared and submitted by the Space Frontier Foundation and other citizen space advocates, and calls for the new Administration to make development of Space Solar Power a national priority. The SSP white paper was among the first ten released by the Obama transition team. It is the first and only space-related white paper released by the team to date. With 145 comments thus far, it is already among the top five most-discussed of the 20-some white papers on Change.gov."

now that Obama and his team are on the job all kinds of things are going to be solved - next week maybe they will get cold fusion working and finally find the cure for male pattern baldness... Maybe he will put Al Gore on the team and start working on the next Internet...
