This seems like a horrible idea to me. Sure, for people it might be great, but we just shut the shades, and drown out the rest of the world. What effect is this going to have on all the animals who will be affected by 24 hours of brightness year round?
From what I understand, the effect on on plants would be minimal, but what other processes on earth need the darkness? What would be the effect on dew rates, as I assume the sunlight would increase the heat of the earth and disrupt the heating and cooling effect of night.
So many questions I don't even know to ask, but I am really uncomfortable with this idea.
I don't like the idea, it is really nasty for stargazer, animal, birds, plants... A better solution is to use smarter light, in order to illuminate better straight to the roads
