The  problem then becomes one of balance. You don't want your elevator drifting
up in orbit any more than you want it drifting down. The solution of piping
energy back to earth isn't bad.

Several people have pointed out that in space `Energy is Cheap.' I never
thought I'd see disposing of energy as a problem, though; to much like
disposing of money.
