Seriously, I had thought often that if and when mankind arrives at the Oort belt, a "shell" of comet-like bodies that orbit earth from way off, they could aim numerous comets at Venus, causing tremendous cataclysms but cooling the planet, and install large solar-reflecting mirrors in orbit around it to produce solar energy on earth while shielding Venus. Enough comets would put seas in Venus's basins. [Maybe they could even "rope" the planet Mercury somehow and put it around Venus for a moon, to create tremendous tidal forces hence an electromagnetic field needed for life to thrive. Mercury is fifty percent greater in diameter than our own moon, and more massive. Or, they could just send a bunch of meteor material in orbit around Venus, eventually creating a moon. Anybody else excited by the idea? Let's do it! [Kidding, but serious.].
