Exactly. Why build them on Earth when we already have more available energy than we need. We're on the cusp of having commercially competitive solar energy - a modicum of political will would probably get us there. Solar panels either need to be more efficient or very cheap to produce, or both.
Instead of putting money into research pollies dream up complicated trading schemes. They won't be happy until they have a whole herd of white elephants.
