Engineer: Some people argue that the world’s energy problems could be solved by mining the Moon for helium-3, which could be used for fuel in fusion reactors. But this is nonsense. Even if it were possible to mine the Moon for helium-3, the technology needed to build viable fusion reactors that could use such fuel is at least 50 years away. If the world’s energy problems are not solved before then, it will be too late to solve those problems.
The main point of the argument is that
(A) mining the Moon for helium-3 is currently not feasible
(B) fusion reactors that are now being planned are not designed to use helium-3 as fuel
(C) people who advocate mining the Moon for helium-3 do not realize that fusion reactors could be designed to use fuels other than helium-3
(D) mining the Moon for helium-3 is not a possible solution to the world’s energy problems
(E) if the world’s energy problems are not solved within the next 50 years, it will be too late to solve those problems
ARGUMENT
= mining for h-3 to use for fusion could solve our probs
= but, fusion won't be ready for at least 50 yrs
= thus, mining for h-3 wont solve our probs
CONCLUSION
Ans (D) mining is not a solution
