Guest: Hu Davis. Topics: Space Solar Power. We welcomed back to the program Hu Davis to talk about SSP.

He referenced many of these studies so you can find them on the net if you are so inclined to do so. He referenced earlier EIR reports that showed positive impact for land use, water usage, and safety.
