What's everyone's thoughts on using space-based solar power to help solve the climate crisis?

Now that we're hitting the 1.5 degree mark, I notice a lot of news articles coming out in favor of such things, but I want to know how you think of it.

Let's not imagine everything in waves, sometimes it could be a packet or particle

People can already get internet from space with Tesla's new starlink, we could always just have solar panels with a detachable lithium battery in the orbit of earth, then astronauts arrange to drop it back down to earth with the same technology they use for dropping drones and miners onto Mars

It's rocket science not magic lol
