Scientific paper

Problems associated with current practices of supplying power for the world in the face of a projected increase in demand and the need to reduce the use of fossil fuels are discussed. The probable shortfall by midcentury is estimated and options for earth-based and space-based sources of energy are examined. It is concluded that energy obtained from space is a viable and necessary manner of meeting a significant portion of the world's requirements in the next century.
