Hey Trent. I hear what your saying. If you use all the energy you gained by burning carbon locking it back up again it is all a bit pointless isn't it. The article assumes an exponential increase in the use of solar energy over the next 20 years, which basically solves our biggest problem (cheap renewable energy) anyway. AIl the same I love the article, and I love the dry humour - the idea of a such mega-scale engineering project appeals to me and it ties in nicely with Keiths space based solar power plans too.
