WRONG.  Taking "hundreds" to mean nine hundred and ninety-nine 10-gigawatt
solar power satellites, the energy added is THREE ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE LESS
than the solar flux.  If you had read my article you would understand this.
I guess the exponential notation was too complicated for you, so this time
I've spelled the numbers out.

Do you get it yet Steve?  You are not just a little bit wrong, not
just 99% wrong, but 99.9% WRONG!  That may not qualify as dead wrong,
but it's certainly brain-dead wrong.

Now, since your "point" has proven as dull as your mind, please do the net
a favor and SHUT UP.
