Joann Evans :

Not a good example. We would *still* have to deal with the existing
high-level wastes somehow, no matter what other sources of energy we
find.

True, but at least SPS could help keep an already-existing problem from getting
steadily bigger over time.

We should ask, critically and with appeal to the numbers, whether the
best site for a growing advancing industrial society is Earth, the
Moon, Mars, some other planet, or somewhere else entirely.
Surprisingly, the answer will be inescapable - the best site is
"somewhere else entirely."
