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. --- Jef Jef Poskanzer jef@lbl-rtsg.arpa ...well!pokey "you have obviously been poked by gumby one too many times, you dipshit. take your calculator off of your belt and join society." -- Steve Elias
