Let's say you're put at the head of a project whose aim is to halt and
reverse as far as possible the environmental destruction caused by the
human race. What we're talking about is not just a moonshot, but a
multinational megaproject with a twelve figure budget (that is,
trillions of dollars). Leaving aside for a moment the feasibility of
such a project ever being launched, how would you go about it
technically? Thanks alot!


Establish lunar mining and manufacturing, lunar mass drivers, habs & fuel depots at the earth-moon Lagrange points as well as low earth orbit. Then build solar power satellites in geosynchronous orbit. This could lead to virtually unlimited energy without dumping CO2 and other green house gases into the atmosphere.

Is there definite proof that beaming that much power through the atmosphere wouldn't heat it up?
