Most of the discussion about space-based solar power is related to launch operations, not energy tech companies: It's a solution in search of a problem, now that manned space travel has pretty much lost its purpose, since robots can explore better more quickly at a fraction of the cost.
SSP has the same problem as nuclear: Solar and wind are cheap and getting cheaper still. Combined with new battery chemistries they are unbeatable on price.
