Question - would we want or need extra energy coming into the atmosphere?
 I could see it screwing with our climate.

A better solution to me is the fitting of solar panels to all houses - =
imagine the
reduction in load on the electrical grid and on non-renewable resources. =
Granted
they would not do away with the need to a grid or some generation capacity =
but
it would certainly lighten the load.
