Come on, Spike, if you can get the cost of lifting parts power
satellite parts down to ~$100/kg, they come in at about half the cost
per kWh of fission plants.

If you have a reasonably efficient method to make synthetic oil, PV
power in the mid east can make fuel for about what we pay for it now.

I am not down on fission power, far from it.  But there are political
problems and there are other sources of energy that cost the same or
less.
