This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Radioactive decay is the source, yes, which means we won't be out of it until the earth is out of all of the radioactive isotopes that are undergoing alpha decay.

By the time that happens, Bussard collectors will probably escape from the realm of fiction.

Yes, but right now it's "cheap" because it's a byproduct of natural gas mining. As we transition off fossil fuels it won't be so easy to acquire.

One of the reasons the shortage was alleviated was the expansion of gas mining and the subsequent discovery of a bunch in Tanzenia.
