A position paper (PDF) submitted by the Space Frontier Foundation to the Obama transition team has been linked on the transition web site, where it has already generated three pages of comments, pro and con (and you can join in).
The one page paper summarizes the potential benefits of collecting solar energy in space and transmitting it to Earth and makes recommendations on the role the federal government can take in researching and developing space based solar power as a part of our mix of energy sources in the future. As an Advocate of the Space Frontier Foundation, I'm happy that this proposal is receiving such prominent public exposure and discussion.
