That is absurd. If you only have energy, you have nothing that is worth transforming. It is more appropriate to say that land(including the atmosphere surrounding it) is the most important source of wealth, as you can both extract energy and elements from it.

The land on the moon is worth very little as there is almost no water on it. If we could extract rocket fuels from there we would already be sending people to mars. People don't seem to understand how valuable our planet is.

For water, the moon mostly lacks hydrogen. There's lots of oxygen in the rocks up there.

In general, I have sympathy for your position.

I think the person you replied to meant that being on earth, all you need is electricity. The rest falls into place.

Yes, the earth is extremely convenient.
