What does everyone think?

Interesting idea. I think it can be made to work. As it said in the article though, we need to go back to the moon first.

Lets try that.But it will take a few decades to make that happen.It may be our best thing to not look anymore to oil and be worried about higher prices at the pump and more higher bills from heating oil.

So lets take things from other planets...yep that'll work! theres gotta be some adverse effects there somewhere.

More information here. Nothing to get excited so far.

This one could be the answer to our problems, or that's what my Physics professor believes. By the way, he's a Nuclear Physicist.

Nuclear physicists are overrated; it's a pretty meaningless statement nowadays. This does look promising as a last resort, and in half a century or so, but for now, more practical methods would be helpful.

No need to go to the moon or to use helium. Heavy hydrogen is available in abundance in the Earth's oceans, and will work well for fusion if we ever get the containment field perfected.
