If you are capturing energy in space, and channeling it to the ground somehow, how have you reduced net energy reaching the surface of the earth?

The energy is in a different form which won't necessarily raise the temperature of the earth as much as the sunlight hitting the earth would have. Not to mention the hydrocarbon based energy sources replaced by the clean electricity wouldn't be contributing further damage to the environment.

When that energy which has been beamed down from space is used, it WILL give off heat.

Long term, climate management will be necessary regardless.
