Yeah I think essentially I meant if we have powered the earth so far by mining fossil fuels from mostly plant and animal matter, is there a future where fuel could be extracted from the gas planets? Digged a little more and for example extracting methane from Uranus's atmosphere? Or any other compounds or elements which any gas planet is rich in which we could do with / use?

Hello, just wondering if it would be theoretically possible to harvest, for example hydrogen, as a clean fuel source from the gas planets? Surely there's an equation where mining / harvesting operations become profitable from what are obviously incredibly rich sources of useable energy? Or is this totally impractical, even with uber-forward-thinking scifi goggles on? Thanks!
