"Better to have them in Earth orbit -- miles in diameter -- beaming energy to Earth at "collection" points."

I am not totally against that idea FT, and I remember reading about that somewhere in the early 1980's. One of the problems I have with it, is what method of transferring the energy gathered will be employed, and what would happen if the "beam" wandered off path a bit? Crispy human beings and or animals? Yogi
