Yeah I saw this movie. The machines turned us into batteries.

How about we just USE the sun to make power rather than block it out.

Oh that movie? I remember the other one. You know where Elon Musk makes a fusion powered world train, has bloodsports, and forces people to eat bugs.

Perhaps instead we could have some of those nuclear powered plants to help supplement where solar ain't so great.

Reminder: we also use the sun to grow all our food.

I wonder who'll tell the world's two billion marginal farmers about this genius plan.

I do enjoy eating. High latitude farmers may frown on reduction of their growing season.

Wasn't there a Simpsons episode about this?

Well we could send giant solar panels into space, collect the energy via solar voltaic and then use microwaves to beam the energy back down to Earth or power satellites that said panels are on but a lot of people seem to think we're already spending too much money on space.
