You have suggested in the same comment that somehow we will have nearly limitless carbon-negative energy but also that the amount of energy to get to Mercury is too high to make the trip worth it. This does not follow from the initial assumption.
- adastra22 4y agoWhy spend X/kg to get something from mercury when you could spend 1/4 or 1/8 as much to get it from the asteroid belt?
