Will we get our electrical energy from solar plants in space?

‍

I have been working with a small but dedicated group of ESA colleagues who have been investigating the merits of space-based solar power for use as a clean energy source to combat climate change and meet Net Zero by 2050 goals. We are trying to get support for establishing a substantial R&D programme in Europe in the coming years to deeply investigate this concept and help decide whether or not such a new and expansive capability should be developed in Europe to serve our future terrestrial energy needs.
