Wait a second -
We are going to solve global warming by focusing and beaming MORE solar energy into the atmosphere?
It's been a long time since I took thermodynamics, but this math does not seem to work out

Agreed….no way that would work. Besides, I read on the internet that within about 6 months, nuclear fission will supply all of our power needs.

Im no scientist, but the OP’s quote of the article says the solar power will be converted to microwaves before transmitting down to earth:
“The idea is to turn the captured solar power into microwaves before sending them to ground-based stations over 22,000 miles away to be converted into electricity.”

It will come through the Earth’s atmosphere as microwaves, so the only downside is that it will boil all the water and we’ll have no rainfall, which means every day will be clear and sunny for a couple of weeks.

I think you missed the part where it's not going to be transmitted as solar energy.
