...plan ahead for anticipated growth complain that no one in the Federal Government will listen to them. Says Utah Governor Scott Matheson: "We're growing so fast now that we can see almost unmitigable problems -even without the development of synthetic fuels or the huge MX program.

...press briefing heralding the Energy Department study, Glaser replied to all these objections. He pointed out that solar satellites, unlike power plants that would use nuclear fusion, need no major technological breakthroughs; the space program has already shown that the required scientific know-how exists. What of the staggering costs? Glaser argued that after the turn of the century, when such satellites could be in operation, their electricity probably would be no costlier, and perhaps a lot cheaper, than power from oil, coal and nuclear plants. As for the danger from microwaves, Glaser conceded that this needs further study...
