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?
