There is an energy crisis. There is an environmental crisis. And the two are about to collide.Mark and Jeremy speak with Martin Soltau, co-founder of Space Solar, about the race to build space-based solar power in orbit, a system that could beam clean electricity to Earth twenty-four hours a day.While fossil fuel giants use artificial intelligence to find new oil and gas, engineers are building satellites that could replace them. With projected costs as low as $30 per megawatt hour, space-based solar could change the economics of power and the politics that shape it.This episode examines the engineering, economics, and policy shifts that could make orbit-generated clean energy inevitable.The question isn’t whether we can capture the sun’s power. It’s whether we’ll use it in time.Please Enjoy the show.
