Uh, and where are you going to get the energy to run all of those replicators?

Power stations in close orbit around the sun, which will convert the huge flux of energy coming off it into microwaves and then beam it to Earth (as described by Asimov in "Reason"). It'll be collected by receivers at the tops of the space elevators and fed into the electrical grid from there.
