Lunex says the moon is the place to be when the fossil fuels on Earth run out, because of its sun-powered energy possibilities and its abundance of helium 3, and isomer that is the ideal fuel for clean nuclear fusion. Schmitt claims that one helium 3 power station can provide half of the USA’s electricity. Schmitt is one of the five America’s politicians who have been out in space.
