Hey so, this might seem pretty extreme but um....

People who even attempt to steal sunlight should die. I don't care how, they should just be dead.

So, they want to play God, eh!!?? :-(

🎵 Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand. I don’t care, I’m still free, you can’t take the sky from me.

Wait, no, don’t take the sky from me!

for solar, a 5km diameter solar farm might hold 10m square meters of panels. at 250w each, 2.5gw solar farm. 4 times a full moon, is 1/100000th the rated capacity (noon at equator) of panels, and so 25kw of power. At 10c/kwh electricity revenue potential, such a farm (exists only in China) could break even offering to rent night light at $2.50/hour.

Batteries charged by solar can deliver profitable electricity at night for far less than 10c/kwh.

If you just want more light somewhere, it would be far cheaper to do from ground systems.

Have we seen this episode on futurama?

Yeah, but think of the potential shareholder value!

...allowing paying customers to generate solar power, grow crops and replace urban lighting.

What a great idea! There aren't any other ways to generate or store solar power, grow crops beyond daytime hours, or create good urban lighting...

Futurama did it first.

Buy who cares? Money!

This entire thing is again stupid front to back, and for loads of money, of course
