The article accounts for this in average earth temperature. The earth’s surface would be hotter than the sun in 1000 years, and would generally be uncomfortable after 200. The only way around that would be a substantial change in the thermodynamic efficiency of our energy use and/or a non radiative means of disposing of heat.

Granted, if we did have the equivalent energy of a sun - we are unlikely to be spending it all on earth. Escaping earths gravity would be a trivial expense.
