That’s why I said it’s hard to imagine that ever happening currently, it doesn’t mean it isn’t a legitimate solution.
On Earth you can compensate for the pollution caused by laying in wires, and if this was done by the government it would probably be near or at powerlines (when they exist, which they should) and it could just be part of normal maintenance for example.
None of this can be done with LEO, it’s getting polluted up there and these satellites just get burnt up. We’re removing precious resources from our planet to burn them up for no reason and causing pollution on Earth and outside of it, it makes no sense.
