That's not how to go about it. If I remember my history of the European Industrial Revolution, large coal deposits were discovered in the German Ruhr region and as a result, it became the largest iron and steel processing centre. they would mine the ore in other ares and transport it to the Ruhr for refinement. In other words, you build your industries where the fuel is located... we shall build them on mars and then transport finished products back to earth! Kwani nyinyi mulisomea wapi? Oil and Coal are not inorganic stuff, they are organic materials. if there has never been life on mars - there is no chance of finding coal (product of vegetation) or oil (product of the fats in dead animals) there... Quote:An alternate theory, the non-biological theory of oil and gas, holds that oil and natural gas on earth are derived from primordial hydrocarbons from the initial formation of the earth.This theory almost certainly predicts large deposits of oil and natural gas beneath the martian surface. Some variants of the non-biological theory suggests that life originated in the subsurface hydrocarbon deposits and might also be present in the martian hydrocarbon deposits. In either case, subsurface oil and natural gas on mars would probably give rise to seepage of hydrocarbon gases such as methane at favourable locations on the martian surface. the wider accepted theory is that of fossils no wonder its called - fossil fuel All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!
