Assume world energy consumption to be ten times that of the United States which is 81019J/y and the deuterium in the oceans could be converted to energy with an efficiency of 32%. You must estimate or look up the amount of water in the oceans and take the deuterium content to be 0.015% of natural hydrogen to find the mass of deuterium available. Note that approximate energy yield at deuterium is 3.371014J/kg. (b) Comment on how much time this is by any human measure. (It is not an unreasonable result, only an impressive one.)
