Very good questions and I don't have the answer. I was mostly trying to respond to the concern that it's just kicking the can down the road. But if we're speculating... with cheap launch capacity and cheap/efficient solar, we could start talking about building solar farms in space. Also - again speculating - if the shade has limited coverage, there should be a temperature difference on the edge of the shadow. That may cause increased wind, which could benefit windmills.
