Even if it was the case, the cost would make the whole ordeal prohibitive and they wouldn't be harvested unless we exhausted all gold on Earth and suddenly we needed gold to live. Titan (one of Saturn's Moons) has hundreds of times the peak reserves of gas and hydrocarbons (oil) the Earth ever had. On top of it it's all laying in huge surface lakes so it isn't even necessary to drill. Have you seen Shell fund an expedition to Titan? I haven't... |
Funny how no one thinks Titan's oil was made from dead dinosaurs, but oil on Earth is from fossils.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
