So the problem with solar is that it bypasses economic rent seeking?

    Someone else will then build a Dyson Sphere & sell property on it while killing your scheme.

      Sure, but that’s far enough future beyond my idea that I’ll have years of profits from selling sunlight to people that won’t matter because I’ll be long dead.

      Plus, it really just shows that my idea could be extended to instead be a solar panel dome so that not only do I steal all of the sunlight from earth, but also harness a fraction of the energy a Dyson Sphere would provide which I can also use to further profit off of the sunless world beneath me that’s now forced to either pay for the privilege of receiving their own sunlight or for the privilege of the energy I generate so they can run their artificial sun lamps.

        The Dyson sphere was never meant to be taken seriously. It is not doable
