Reflect orbital’s space mirrors

I think this isn’t a good thing and it will mess up wild life I get using for crisis situations but I know it will be abused I really dislike what’s going on and I don’t know why we are not putting cost on natural light why do we have to do this. It’s just wrong paying couple thousand when you want sun light in your area why are we paying for natural light like I said i understand the reasons it can help but this will not have a positive impact on nature. I don’t under why we can’t just learn to live with nature instead of going against it. What do you guys think about this

I'm 15, I have a big dream for a city-state. Do you guys think this is possible?

I'm 15 years old and I have this dream of world-building (and hopefully one day creating) an independent city-state in Jamaica for about 600,000 citizens
I call it Ascaladia. I really want it to be sustainable, but I’ve been researching and I don’t think pure Solarpunk renewables can survive 100% on its own because of intermittency issues and tropical storms. So, I came up with a "Punk Fusion" idea to make it work, and I want to know if you guys think the science makes sense:
Solar/Nature-punk: For the beautiful surface look, plant-integrated buildings, rainwater basins, and natural quartz-lined filtration canals.
Eco-punk: For a 100% waterless waste system using composting toilets and underground bio-digesters that turn human waste into clean cooking gas for community kitchens.
Nuclear-punk: A deep underground Thorium grid to provide a permanent, clean, and safe baseline power source so the city never experiences blackouts.

Atompunk: For hovering monitor bots, biometric security wristbands.

Also, please bear with me. I’m not really that good at explaining myself at all, but this is just a dream that I have had for years now and it’s what I want to do in the future. Hopefully I do become successful. if you guys can correct me if I’m wrong, that would be nice and if you have any other suggestions as well. I was a bit nervous writing this so I’m sorry if I got anything wrong.

I know it sounds huge, but is a combination like this actually scientifically possible to sustain a society? I would love to hear your thoughts, critiques, or any advice on the engineering!
