To colonize Venus, I think the earthlings need to construct a huge-huge solar panel array and place it in orbit around the planet so that it can produce some power, but more importantly shade the planet enough so it quits cooking quite so much. That would make it easier to stabilize the atmosphere.

The panel may have to be constructed as a big ring around Venus since it would be difficult to maintain a static position between Venus and the Sun, but maybe the solar energy could be used to power some sort of active arangement to keep the panel in place. We can ask Winston Rumfoord if it will happen.
