Huge problems

There are huge obstacles that must be over come to allow teraforming Mars. It only has one-fourth the intensity of sunlight that Earth has. There have been suggestions like: Installing a huge shinny foil collar around Mars in space to reflect sunlight onto the surface...I mighty big undertaking. If not that, how would we increase the light in order to support plant life (a must to increase the oxygen)?
