Look at this picture from Wikipedia. 235 w/m² into earth from the sun, 195+40= 235 w/m² out from earth into space. There's no warming because the energy transfer is equal.
If you could cover a silicon/iron ball (earth) with a thin film of water (ocean) and gasses (atmosphere) and get infinite heat from it, then that's what we would build to fuel our power plants. Earth won't cook because earth can't cook.
