A report released by CNN news channel November 13th 2013 referred to many experts who believed that Energy from space could be by 2025. So, that means we can find energy alternatives before the end of the fossil fuel, which is estimated to run out within the next seventy years.
The concept of energy from space starts by getting Solar Power Satellite to convert solar power into electricity, then transmitting it to the earth. The importance of this project could offer stabilities to the industries, which would enable economic growth. However the project count on being financed the Infrastructure whither from privet or public sector which estimated by researcher at a billion dollars, on the other hand, National space society compare the cost of solar energy from space to the
American military presence in the Persian Gulf. So, it's expensive.
The world today is most likely moving towards solar power. The best examples of these changes are taking place in San Francisco in the United States. Pacific Gas and Electric Company announced in 2009 it's seeking the authority approval to deliver energy from space by 2016. The 2nd great example was Apple's new headquarters Campus 2 which will generate 70% of its energy from solar and fuel cells. These examples show what energy from space can
bring to the world in a few years. Meanwhile this new type of energy might continue to reduce our reliance on the main crude oil exporters as well as OPEC and of course the Middle East.
Today NASA is focusing on how to deliver solar power in the space from the sun. On the other hand the Japanese are working from different perspective / angle to get energy space from the moon. So, this race to harness energy from space will become matter of fact.
