Expert: David B. McCall Date: 7/20/2008 Subject: ENERGY FROM THE MOON
Question Some energy experts predict that by the end of this century our energy problem will be solved through Helium 3 from the Moon. Many experts say that much earlier than that the Moon will provide another source of energy. What is it?
Thank you.
Answer Hello yiangos. I am familiar with the moon rock and helium 3 predictions. The only other source that I have heard of that sounds creduble to me, and I am not a scientist, is a lunar solar power system, using solar cells on the surface of the moon, that would transmit power to earth from 20-30 solar cell "bases" arrayed on the surface of the moon.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
