I have proposed a privately funded $12 billion program - $7 billion
for the launcher, $5 billion for the satellite - to place a satellite
that beams 10,000 MW to Earth. *At $0.05 per kWh the satellite is
worth over $75 billion the day its switched on.

Why are you passing up my 50/50 deal of public funding?

At least that's what I'd offer if I were in charge, and at least that
way you'd also get full access to all public funded R&D, as well as
public owned logistics (including DoD stuff).
