The thing is, if we were to develop the tech needed to cool Venus, it would be orders of magnitude cheaper to just use it here on earth to offset CO2/CO emissions and reverse the greenhouse effect.

That does nothing in terms of increasing Earth's surface area. Either we cap the population or we expand to other habitats.

There are vast expanses of desert in Sahara that no one lives in. That land is much easier to settle than another planet, yet we don't do that.
