New plan! Colonize Venus!

(What's all this about cloud cover?)

Airship colonies, take advantage of that dense atmosphere and float over the clouds.
If you go high enough in Venus's atmosphere that the temperature and pressure are Earth-like you're getting 1.3 times the sunlight of Earth coming in from above and about 1.0 times reflected off the clouds below.
