Look for a National Security Space Office-led study group to detail their findings on a space-based solar power concept as a way to help de-fuse energy wars here on Earth, as well as an idea to fend off some nasty effects from global warming.

That Pentagon office will announce its study results on October 10 at a press event held at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The-hour-and-a-half long briefing starts at 9:00 a.m. For you locals it’s at the First Amendment Lounge within that journalistic castle, the National Press Club.

On call for the top-level briefing is Lt. Col. Paul Damphousse of the U.S. Marine Corps from the National Security Space Office, joined by Apollo moonwalker, Buzz Aldrin. John Mankins, President of the SUNSAT Energy Council, as well as Charles Miller, Director of the Space Frontier Foundation will be there as well.

And along with the event you get a new alliance too - dedicated to advancing the benefits of harvesting energy for Earth via space solar power satellites.
