Bad things. And good things. Bad if you're stupid, good if you're not.
Free track time for NICO members. No more emissions laws. No more pedestrian impact laws. No more CAFE! DRM would be illegal. Pirates would be hanged by their testicles. Traffic law enforcement would shift from "victimless" crimes like speeding or not wearing your seatbelt to traffic-impairing crimes like cruising in the left lane, not signalling, and driving too slow for conditions.
Oh, and the space program would be put into overdrive. Imagine all the space-money we'd have if we weren't subsidizing the theoretical salvation of the earth. I'll even make the hippies a peace offering: once we find another home to live on, we'll make earth into a planetwide natural preserve. I'll call it the Herbert-McNelly Ecological Preserve and it will stand as a historical monument to life itself until the earth is destroyed by natural causes.
Oh, I'm supposed to ask a question:
What if the sun went dark, but continued producing infra-red radiation (so life could still survive on earth, but without a natural daylight source)?
