My sister-in-law's sister used to work at a large energy "think tank" (in some drone administrative capacity at a six figure salary).

I remember talking to her at Christmas one year (20 years ago?). I asked her if they had studied solar power satellites, seemed like a good idea to me. I'll never forget the look of amused contempt she shot me. She immediately changed the subject. Later I understood that her "think tank" was just a lobbying org to extract Federal tax dollars to build coal plants.
