Space Solar Recovery Roses by Selva Ozelli

Urban October was developed to raise awareness, promote participation, generate knowledge and engage the international community toward a New Urban Agenda. Selva Ozelli with her art show “Art in the Time of Corona 8 – Space Solar Recovery Roses” explores the links between pollution and the pandemic which is based on her article "Is Solar Power Adoption Hindered by an Inadequate Global Environmental Tax Policy?" https://news.bloombergtax.com/daily-tax-report/insight-is-solar-power-adoption-hindered-by-an-inadequate-global-environmental-tax-policy. The art show includes a portrait of Dr. Paul Jaffe who works in the Spacecraft Engineering Department, of the United States Naval Research Laboratory, on power beaming and space-based solar power systems. US, UK, EU, China, Japan, India, and Russia are exploring SBSP for clean energy to achieve net-zero carbon emissions goals by 2050.
