Given much of the transition to renewable energy is planned to be solar this may be counterproductive. China is rolling out monumental amounts of solar at the moment, we can't just block the sun since it's part of the solution.

That’s a feature, not a bug. Using geo-engineering will take the pressure off of fossil fuel reduction policies. So why use solar power when you can happily continue burning coal and oil?

This is the scifi future baby! Everything going up from now on 🚀
They lit an LED with a radio and a rectifier. Nothing futuristic involved at all.
