A small number of people have been working for the past year on ways to reduce the cost of power from space to the point that it could entirely displace fossil fuels and even put carbon dioxide back in empty oil fields as synthetic oil. The challenging part is reducing the cost of transport to GEO by a factor of ∼200 discussed in another paper in this volume. Given low cost power, synthetic fuels, carbon sequestration, and fresh water from seawater become economical.
