They’re not going to reflect sunlight that wouldn’t otherwise hit the planet. This won’t add extra energy to the planet, just move it around a bit.
If I understand correctly, those mirrors will reflect sun rays, that would otherwise be wasted across the universe, to earth.
So, you are fundamentally wrong. The very idea is to reflect sunlight that wouldn’t otherwise hit the planer. This WILL add extra energy to the planet.
Even if they used sunlight that bounces off earth, they would still cause issues, just a little less serious. This is because they would be trapping energy that tries to leave the earth.
Greenhouse gases. Just greenhouse.
They’re supposed to be positioned in low earth orbit. Apart from a very slim belt that light would’ve hit the planet anyway.
Did you bother to read the 3rd part of my previous comment?
Are you being serious? I can’t tell, but if you are, that’s not how this works.
You either steal energy from somewhere/someone to redirect it around the planet where it’s dark, or, you add energy from what is not hitting the planet in the first place.
You can’t have a situation where you aren’t stealing someone’s sunlight and you aren’t adding sunlight
Are you serious? Taking energy from one part of the planet and putting it somewhere else isn’t going to make the planet hotter, like the previous commenter stated. Taking water from 1 lake and putting it in a neighboring lake, isn’t going to add or retract from the total water.
We do take energy from one place and put it in another. In the form of fossil fuels. And we ship it with what energy now?
What does that have to do with mirrors in space?
