This has to be a crash grab. Like it’s absurd, not only can I not think why you would want this service I wonder how the logistics of moving it to a location and pissing off people that don’t want it to be daylight.

Do we not remember when futurama tried this and accidently lasered a convention?

On a more serious note, how is it fair if say a neighbouring business orders this service and now what, your whole neighbourhood just doesn't get night time anymore? The local climate just gets a few degrees hotter, no biggie?

Literally the plot of a James Bond villain. The best news is that this shit will never work and it will only serve to evaporate the wealth of some overly-moneyed idiots.
