I think this is one of the best/coolest prospects for alternate energy. I really liked to bit about the defense incentives, I will be ecstatic if 2010 rolls around and the U.S. Govt. announces, "... And we have space based solar power station that we have been trying to incorporate into the defense network for a few years.. but we only managed to give the enemy a bad sunburn, so the civilian sector may now use it to solve the worlds energy crisis."

This should be a top priority to consider when the prices of oil start reaching even higher highs.
1. Investing in the transportation to take up the solar modules would reduce the cost of space travel more rapidly than periodic space exploration.
2. Many, many new high caliber jobs for people all over the world.
3. Locations on earth that did not have access to energy could now receive massive amounts of it no matter where they are located, so long as they could afford it.
4. Photovoltaic technology would advance so rapidly that we, on earth, could use solar panels for an abundance of ideas that were not feasible in the past, like the solar powered car.
5. If the first one works and generates an estimated 5GW of electricity, we could seriously consider replacing coal, oil, and nuclear plants economically (nuclear plants can generate up to 1 GW of electricity, or 1000MW).
