- yongjik 13y agoWell, maybe he did, but I parsed his phrase in the other way: > ...a way to cheaply produce it without relying on fossil fuels. It sounds like regarding antimatter as a possible alternative to fossil fuels---which it can't be. (It can be an alternative to oil tankers, I guess.)
- xerophtye 13y agoTechnically, all forms of energy "production" we have are basically extraction from an existing store of said energy. Try reading[0], it's about the two guys who proposed a black hole powered space ship. What they suggest is extraction energy from the sun (an existing source) and making a black hole (or maybe more from the same one), and then use that to power your ship. "With a set of four machines: black hole generator, black hole drive, power plant, and a self perpetuating black hole powered black hole generator, the potential is enormous.
