Message to the Next President: SSP

President-Elect Barack Obama's transition team has posted a space solar power (SSP) position paper on change.gov and requested public comments. The Space Frontier Foundation and the National Space Society urge those associated with them to file prositive statements on the presidential transition web site. The next president should get your message [video].

SSP has gained support the past year resulting from a unique report from the National Security Space Office at the Pentagon. Last spring Lt. Col. Paul Damphousse spoke to the 2008 Energy Technology Conference at The University of Virginia's College at Wise on SSP with a traditional electric power provider warming to the concept to the extent of calling for public hearings in the House Energy & Commerce subcommittee on energy. Meanwhile, The Future Channel has recently completed a documentary on the project.

Post your comments today to the Obama Transition.
