Don't assume this is a power plant. What will we do when we cure aging? Build.

You all are assuming that the excess IR is radiated indiscriminately; isotropic. IF this really is a structure, its completely possible, if not likely, that heat would be vented directionally. And unless that venting happens to point directly toward Earth, we won’t see any IR.
