Strategic Forcasting

On pg 15 of the 2/16/9 Newsweek, George Friedman, of said company,
claims that the US will:

....enjoy a mid-century opulence; and become the world's
largest energy producer through a space-based system
of solar panels.

It would make for a great speech:

"No project will be as impressive to mankind, more important to the
long range exploration of space, or more beneficial to generations yet
unborn."
