What part of limitless, cheap energy is objectionable to you?

Nothing unless you are asked to deliver such a thing. The bottom line is that solar energy is constant but requires immense areas to harness relatively minor amounts of energy. Before we go to the moon we need to increase the amount of energy per cubit centimeter we can generate by about a billion percent from where we are now. Like wind power, we will never get back the energy investment we made in creating the technologies and that is why both of those techniques only exist under heavy public subsidies while still being the most expensive.

If we are going to do this, we need to get the basics right, an area we have made little headway in the last four decades.
