Washington, D.C.—The National Space Society (NSS) will hold a press
conference on November 14, 2011, from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the
National Press Club in Washington, D.C., to announce the findings of a
ground-breaking space solar power study conducted by the prestigious

"With space solar power technology, energy can be collected from
space and transmitted wirelessly anywhere in the world,” said Mark
Hopkins, the leading Executive Officer of the National Space Society.
"This technology could be the answer to our energy crisis. We look
forward to sharing the results of the IAA's study, and exploring the
potential that space solar power has for creating thousands of green
energy jobs,” he added.
