re: Should we build a Dyson Sphere to harvest 100 percent of sunlight?

As I understand it, the theory is generally that a Dyson sphere would start as exactly that but then grow exponentially as the civilization has access to more and more energy. By the time you get to a full sphere, the civilization is harvesting so much energy from the star that direct “natural” light isn’t needed anymore. At least that’s how I’ve interpreted it, anyhow.
I have a hard time believing in the long term stability of a system in which entities take all the light from a star, but pinky promise to give it back to those planet side.
Can you imagine the doomsaying and riots as soon as the plan was announced?
