Talk:Carbon Economy

Carbon importation

Something true about the moon is its lack of carbon.

Quoting ARTEMIS

"If we detected CO burps [on the moon], it would mean pockets of CO gas under pressure trapped under unfractured crust deep below. These would be as economically significant a find as polar ice fields. But don't count on it."

See http://www.asi.org/adb/m/08/08/lunar-carbon.html

We are the future carbon of the moon.

Another thing... What if we use carbon fiber on everything we send to the moon, say, lunar modules...? and other infrastructure, then later we replace that with a non-carbon something made in-situ recycling the carbon for other purposes.

That can solve the extra payload... issue.

Carbon economy as a title

I'm not sure about "Carbon economy" as a title, I've been mulling this over for a while now, and I still feel the phrase "carbon economy" suggests an ecomomy based on carbon rather than economical use of carbon. Natually I can't think of a better name either. Just my 2c worth.
