US Senator Who Would Like SSP?

07/24/2012 10:10 PM

If you share my belief that the intrinsic long-run seeming superiorities of space solar power should get it more attention, then you might well be interested in the current candidacy of Martin Heinrich in a close race for US Senator from New Mexico. At a rally last Saturday I met Heinrich to expose SSP's merits, and to my complete surprise he not only seemed very interested, he was already knowledgeable enough to ask whether "microwave transmission was the preferred transmission technology?" Wouldn't putting such a promising engineer-turned-politician into the Senate offer a unique potential leverage for furthering SSP?

No it would not.

What are "...the intrinsic long-run seeming superiorities of space solar power..." and the attendant merits?

When Mr. Heinrich asked you if "microwave transmission was the preferred transmission technology?", what did you say?
