Gerard K. O'Neill wrote a very visionary book in 1976 called the "High Frontier; Human Colonies in Space" Among the many ideas he put forward in the book was the idea that you can collect endless amounts of solar energy by unfurling very thin solar collector (cells). I think the concept work has already been done for making paper thin solar collectors that can be, for instance, a mile square, 2 miles, or as big as you want and that energy can be beamed back down to Earth.
Like Kennedy did in 1961, this president should challenge the USA to make a permanent, self sufficient Colony in Space by the end of the Century. From here one primary activity could be to farm the sunlight for use on land.
Much sooner than the turn of the Century we hope have working fusion generators producing a lot of our energy.
For now Traditional Energy, Oil, gas and coal are brining in more sales than any other single sector at amsc.
Jeff Besos likes it.
