I didn't even know anyone was suggesting this. What an abysmally stupid idea. I accept that I am a big old nerd and tend to know more about random sciency shit than average but while I knew that people think of space as cold (and why that doesn't mean what people think it does...) I didn't think anyone thought there was "abundant power" up there?! Good grief. Even if you lost 90% of solar power in heating the air, being able to capture the 10% (presumably at a similar level of efficiency to in space) would obviously be better than putting the solar panels in fucking orbit.
