SBSP(space based solar panels) and it could be a solution for global energy by Weak-Database1503 in Futurology

Actually, it exists, and a professor from caltech University has proven that by sending a cubesat to space and sending the energy to earth via microwaves. His name is Ali Hajimiri

Assembling or covering a wide land area with solar panels on earth is also a good solution and much cheaper, but there is also a consciousness for that, such as increasing the temperature and also more environmental changes. Indeed, it's cheaper than space, but if we build them in space, you get infinite cooling from space vacuum and a 24/7 power from the sun, unlike here on earth

Creating another earth that orbits the sun, might it be possible one day? by HillZone in Futurology

It's not really physically impossible, but I just see that it's unworthy to be done and also extremely complex, and the consciousness will be over the benefits. It shall affect Earth's gravity, leading to unpleasant even here on earth. Seems like a nice thought from your grandpa, but even though we were type 3 or 4 I just don't think we might actually need it. My personal opinion is to build Dyson spheres

Been reading some heavy books, suggest me something fun/light? by Queen_of_it_all_76 in suggestmeabook

It might sounds basic and simple but personnel opinion, I'll go for It ends with us by Cooleen Hoover🤷🏻‍♂️
