Maybe we should have NASA put a huge (HUGE (1000 mile diameter) solar panel array in orbit so it is always between the Sun and the Earth. It will track along the equator as the Earth spins, but also take 365.25 days to orbit the Sun. I think they are called lagrange points. It will block out some of the Sun's energy from reaching the Earth, but also provide power.
Technically, it is where they should have parked the MIR, SkyLab or space station once they are done with it.
And it would look like the Death Star to any aliens that might stop by. And I'm sure we have beamed Star Wars into space, so they won't mess with us.
