optimisticly, most fossil fuel reserves will be gone in 30-50
years, and there is a real chance of the production peaking in not more than
10.

No, there's lots of coal out there, and using it will still be cheaper than
SPS, tho all the natureworshippers will need to be told to sit down and shut
up.

You can burn all the coal you want. Just make sure you don't create
CO2 and ruin my ski holidays (and much more besides).

I agree though, SPS R&D needs to be done *now* so we will have it when we do in
fact need it.

We could certainly start with some useful research instead of all the
stuff their currently not doing on ISS.
