A few comments here claim to have run the numbers. With negative results. How do seed rounds with name-brand VC work? Please tell me an independent party would have been paid to do due diligence on the feasibility of the approach. Or is this perhaps an investment in the team with an openness to pivot.
I am so tired of seeing ideas that are indiscernible from satire. This is like something that they would have come up with on HBO's Silicon Valley. Who do I complain to when a nearby golf course orders some nightshine and now my sky looks like I'm under a fucking police helicopter?
> selling sunlight Sounds like an eco disaster to me. Some things only happen when it's dark... I'm amazed I almost never read about a much more viable alternative: inter-continental power transmission cables. There are a few projects: UK buying electricity from Morocco, Singapore buying electricity from Australia. Both implemented using undersea power transmission cables. If this could be implemented on a global sca…

I’m curious to know the effects of beaming additional solar energy to Earth on climate change. I can’t imagine it’d be good.
If this is a legitimate concern perhaps they can launch a second set of satellites to block peak sunlight.
Wild that there is no law against this.

Or just put mirrors on the ground to reflect the sunlight back out /s
The satellites are dumb and would have a negligible effect. But if you want to offset the heat just to be on the right side, some mirrors or simply white surfaces on the ground could do the job.
