We as in the EU and USA
WE have enough oil to supply the world with Canada, Venezuela, Guyana and Mexico
WE can finally stop money from flowing into the middle east
It’s funny but Russia and OPEC+ don’t understand that China is a bigger threat than the US or EU
China is starting to flood the world with cheap electric vehicles and solar cells
China uses LFP battery technology which does not require nickel, cobalt or manganese. It uses lithium and iron
The world has massive iron supply lines and can just recycle old ICE cars into LFP batteries
Hahahaha hahahaha, so OPEC+ and Russia are friends with China. The country who is literally putting them out of the oil business
Hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha

We must stop buying all oil from Saudi Arabia and the Middle East
The US, Canada, Venezuela, Guyana and Mexico can supply oil to the world
We don’t need Saudi Arabia anymore

Wow, good thinking. Humanity really is lucky. Our solar system is so abundant and has lots of water
We just need to get our act together to become solar system wide planet and moon colonizers and shapers
Habitats for so much life can be created and sustained

True but once plant life can be introduced it will be sustaining

Not true, the abundant CO2 brought in from Venus will provide a carbon rich atmosphere, insulation for heat and oxygen
Mars does not have atmosphere and Venus has to much. We can balance both worlds and heat up Mars and Cool down Venus
Just one ice moon of Jupiter has 35 times the water of earth. We can move small ice moon from the gas giants to both mars and Venus to give them mass and liquid water
It won’t be easy but it can be accomplished with our new AI Robotics and electric propulsion, i.e., giant planet, moon and space based rail guns
They can easily shoot payloads around the solar system and we can accelerate and slow down using with laser ablation or heated water or expelled CO2
It’s not sci-fi, it’s funding and political will
Just the metal asteroids in the belt will fund the entire operation
And in a few hundred years both planets will be completely transformed and moving towards human habitation
Hell we can even build super structures around our moon and the large ice moons to heat them up and have atmosphere and liquid oceans
We can accomplish a lot
We can even occupy the outer rim of about 8-9 Pluto sized objects
Mercury can be mined for its vast quantity of metals and the remaining rock can add mass to Mars

Well, humanity must terra form both Mars and Venus
The project can be funded by harvesting all the asteroids in the belt. The estimated worth of all the metal in the biggest one is over 100 trillion dollars
The asteroids can be pushed to mars for processing and for adding mass to Mars
All the small ice moons of the gas giants can be moved to mars and harvested. So can Saturns ice rings
Ceres can be pushed into a Mars orbit
Once Mars has more mass from water and asteroids it’s atmosphere can be built up by moving vast quantities of CO2 from Venus to Mars and nitrogen from Titan
Giant reflective mirrors orbiting mars can focus sun light in Mars to help heat it up
Once enough CO2 is removed from Venus it will cool down quite a bit. To help with cooling Venus giant reflector satellite mirrors can keep heat and light away from Venus’s atmosphere
Small ice moons can be crashed into Venus to add large quantities of water
Humanity can help reshape both Mars and Venus for humanity

Well that’s a lot of waste and possible acids btw waiting to happen
