We already have a near perfect nuclear fusion reactor that will serve us for free for the next BILLION or so years. It is located at a safe distance - about 93 million miles away - and it transmits all the energy we could ever need, distributed all around the earth so that all life can work.

Some life forms can make electricity inside their cells from the suns energy, and then use that energy to make their own food - these are the cyanobacteria and the plants. All the other lifeforms are totally dependent on the photosynthesis both for the oxygen and the food they eat.

Let's choose to not soil our only planet, okay? Let's instead choose to cooperate with the cycle of life - we cannot survive without it. We can use our brains to do the right thing, and that has to be based on our best understanding of how the world works.
