He’s right. Mankind has become scared of its own power and imagination. Why? The rise of womankind of course!

Oh, great. And then I’ll have to get use to saying that there are only *seven* planets. Geez, I still aint only Pluto!

Two more problems besides the obvious “numbers don’t add up” problem detailed in the article:
1. If you have a Dyson sphere at the orbit of Mercury, aren’t you blocking sunlight from hitting earth? So we’re not going to have the sun in the sky anymore? That’s a goal of this project?
2. You have to transmit the energy gained to earth. How are you going to do that, microwave beams? Aren’t there problems associated with those?

“Dismantling Mercury, just to start, will take 2 × 10^30 Joules, or an amount of energy 100 billion times the US annual energy consumption,” False premise. You don't have to dismantle Mercury completely to start building the sphere. You only use what you need.
