Yes, it would (though an interesting comparison would be ground-based renewables vs. carbon capturing land use + space based solar). Another possible long-term

Yes, it would (though an interesting comparison would be ground-based renewables vs. carbon capturing land use + space based solar). Another possible long-term, space-based alternative to reduce global warming would be space-based manufacturing. It's equally as plausible - if the economics work for space-based solar, it means either space-based-manufacturing is a thing, or launch costs have dramatically lowered
