   Wrong.  I seem to know a lot more about this (and everything) than you   
   do, troll.  For any reasonable amount you can produce as much as you   
   want.

   You're the one who was looking for an 'estimate'.  I wasn't because   
   any sane Mars settlement will be using nuclear and solar.

   Which part of "who the fuck cares" was it that left you confused?

   Who the fuck cares, since that's not where a Mars settlement would get   
   methane?   
      
      
      
   Go educate yourself and get back to me, troll.
