True especially since Helium 3 is on the moon which when mined can be used to give us Fusion Energy as seen here

>Of these, helium‑3 represents the most significant potential in the field of energy. This non-radioactive isotope is an ideal fuel for the operation of a fusion reactor; it consists of fusing helium‑3 with deuterium, with the advantage of not producing neutrons.

And since there are tones on the Moon we're looking at Fusion energy for tens of thousands of years

China Knows this as seen here

As do we, so yeah you're right better there on the Moon than here on earth.

The race has begun
