Bob, That would be equivalent to cooling the Earth by increasing the reflectivity of the Earth.
The advantage of "renewable" energy sources is that they don't add more energy to the environment so a global excess heat problem could not arise from their expanded use. The quest for "the holy grail of energy" is a quest for an energy source that is completely independent of the Sun. However, it is possible to achieve energy security without living independently of the Sun. Therefore the belief that some sort of ultimate energy source exists is emblematic of the dream to leave the Earth and to travel to the Stars. It is not emblematic of the pressing need to build a better life on Earth. It is important to have dreams but the pursuit of a dream should not serve as a substitute for the satisfaction of a pressing need.
