I wonder if this moron realizes how LARGE a mirror....or for that matter how MANY of these mirrors would be need to eliminate just 1% of the heat from the sun....or take into consideration of the highly deadly solar flares that would probably destroy their usefulness, if any.....and who is going to pay for this to protect the WORLD,,,, any other countries going to step up to TRILLIONS of dollars of cost....RIGHT!!!! America foots the bill again! This asshole even admits it would be extremely expensive!!!
Like many of his fellow Democratic presidential candidates, Yang has proposed using a wide range of tools to ramp up renewable energy, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, establish new standards on emissions for buildings, cars and the entire electric grid and boost nuclear energy capacity.
However, his 20-year, $4.87 trillion climate plan differs in one way and thatās in terms of geoengineering - the notion that humans should take deliberate and large-scale action concerning climate in order to stop or slow down the planetās warming.
Yangās plan would provide $800 million to NASA, the Department of Defense and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to research geoengineering, which includes investigating āgiant foldable space mirrorsā as an emergency measure of last resort.
āSpace mirrors would involve launching giant foldable mirrors into space that would deploy and reflect much of the sunās light [away from the planet]. This method would be extremely expensive, which is why it should be investigated as a last resort. However, since we would be able to āundoā the mirror after deployment if needed, itās less permanent,ā Yang has written.
