I mean I guess we'll see how fast space industry develops with the proliferation of reusable rockets but I seriously doubt gigawatt scale powersats will happen in the next couple of decades.
If Chinese moon base plans pan out, then it might be cheaper to start producing stuff on the moon and sending it to orbit from there at some point. I agree this is decades away either way though.
I mostly agree. Space-based solar power is probably right at the boundary of space infrastructure that's feasible while largely relying on Earth-based supplies.
