spacecraft reentry electrically charged plasma thermal protection system

when a spacecraft reenters the atmosphere 
then friction from the atmosphere creates a plasma 
that surrounds the lower part of the spacecraft 
usually the space shuttle needs a thermal protection system 
made of heat tiles 
according to media, the atmospheric plasma is neutrally charged
but if the space shuttle instead could use electricity or other energy 
to add or remove electrons to the atmospheric plasma 
then the atmospheric plasma could be positively or negatively charged
and then electromagnets inside the spacecraft 
could control the charged atmospheric plasma 
to use it as a heat shield 
if the spacecraft absorbs heat from reentry into atmosphere 
then that heat could accelerate fluid inside a closed system turbine 
to generate electricity 
and that electricity could be used to add or remove electrons to the atmospheric plasma 
and power the electromagnets controlling the atmospheric plasma
