What’s everyone’s thoughts on using space-based solar power to help solve the climate crisis?

Now that we’re hitting the 1.5 degree mark, I notice a lot of news articles coming out in favor of such things, but I want to know how you think of it.

    We still have plenty of space down here where we could put solar-panels and I doubt the efficiency gains from space based solar PV will ever make up for the difficulties in getting them up there and beaming the energy back down.

    And I am a little suspicious that this will be turned into weapon technology as the potential for that is certainly there.
