Default Space sunshade

Dr. Roger Angel want to make a "space sunshade" to sheild the earth from the sun, and to redirect some of the light and heat coming to the planet.
Here is some info/links
Space sunshade might be feasible in global warming emergency

BBC NEWS | In pictures: Global sunshade, Introduction

I was watching something on the tv about this and the biggest problem they said was the price and getting the lensess into space. I ponder why not build them in space? Do you think this could work? Why or why not? Is it fessable? Why or why not? What are the major problems with this idea? What is the best part of this idea?
