    The New York Times on Space Solar Power

    Looking to Space in the Race to Decarbonize

    Space-based solar power, once a topic for science fiction, is gaining interest.

    When The New York Times (NYT), a major US newspaper known to achieve 70 million unique monthly visitors, runs a positive article about the potential of space-based solar power (SBSP), that’s an indication that this clean energy game-changing technology is finally becoming part of the broader conversation.
