So what do you guys think of getting our power from the moon.  

Could fuel the entire planet for 1000 years.  Pretty amazing.

We need to photo shop what the moon would look like in 3150 if we start mining the thing.

Yea we\'re gonna run out of oil, gas and uranium in 2150.  Didn\'t they say we were going to run out of food in the 1970\'s?  :rolleyes:

FYI, that site has about as much journalistic integrity as SUN, th\' National Enquirer, or any magazine that has a picture of Bat Boy on the cover. I wish it were true, though. 1000 years of energy..

We really can\'t run out of oil per se. Oil will be replenished in millions of years after we\'re all dead and decomposing. Oil is a fossil fuel, it needs breaking down matter to be produced. So, in the lives of humans, we\'ll never see oil again :)

What if it ****s up the moon and floats aways? I thought that would also throw the earth out of it\'s orbit, too...

Uh....dudes....the mass of the Moon is too large for mining to have an impact on its orbit. Think about this....there are literally several thousands of man made satellites orbiting our Earth. Most will plummet into the Earth and get burned in the atmosphere, the rest will move further away. The Moons orbit will not be affect by us mining it.

And just FYI....the moon is moving slowly away from Earth. Has been for 3 billions of years. But look...it\'s still there.

Hey....this is romantic! We\'re all staring at the moon together! :D
