Scottish Academic: Mining the Moon For Helium 3 Is Evil

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday August 28, 2013 @01:47PM from the hold-the-cheese dept.

MarkWhittington writes "Tony Milligan is a teaching fellow of philosophy at the University of Aberdeen and is apparently concerned about helium 3 mining on the moon. In a recent paper he suggested that it should not be allowed for a number of reasons which include environmental objections, his belief that the moon is a cultural artifact, and that too much access to energy would be bad for the human race."
