On: Scientists beam solar power to Earth from space for first time ever

Would a "Earth-orbiting swarm" be orbiting earth, or share earths orbit?

[WillAdams → Chris2048]

Share earth's orbit --- we could start with a series of units which block a small amount of sunlight --- directly converting that into usable power should be a help in reducing the earth's warming up from the absorption of solar energy.

We’d actually have more heat on earth due to our use of the suns energy at higher output than it hits the earth. We could build a mirror to reflect it back into space though.

Not all energy use leads to heat production.

And also, we could move large parts of our industry to outside our biosphere.

I was thinking of a swarm orbiting Earth. As a first test.
