i dont see why we don't do it all at the same time and see which one gets done faster, i dont think venus is outside the habitable zone, I believe a few hundred years ago it was recorded as a blue planet, it might have even been inhabited, possibly venus had a civilization that screwed up like we are doing. Any evidence of life would be destroyed by crazy winds, radiation exposure, burning surface.
re-reading up on venus, though i came to some problems though with my plan. Miainly there is a lack of hydrogen. Which poses a problem to terraformers. ITs possible to ship hydrogen, but not feasible. I suppose the fission reaction from a nuclear blast would create hydrogen, but i couldn't tell you if it would be enough. Theres hydrogen in sulfuric acid, but again apparently the sulfuric clouds while coverin the surface are still a small part of the atmosphere
