No more Peak Oil worries (on Pluto)

Quote:
We know there's methane on Pluto," says dwarf planet expert Mike Brown of Caltech. "Here's what we think happens: Sunlight hits the methane and breaks it apart into its chemical components - hydrocarbons. Over millions of years this process makes a dark reddish-brown oil or tar like substance that sticks to the ground."
There's no need to drill, you just scrape it up. All we need is a very long pipeline!
