Now here's where I'm scratching my head. Where does the energy come from to do the extraction in the first place? The article is not clear on that. So I'm guessing that it must come from a nuclear reactor aboard an aircraft carrier.
Deuterium fusion, of the colder variety.
They use a reactor fueled, in part, with Unobtanium.

Yes. And she’s talking about jet fuel.
Apparently they’ll use electricity. Still no word on where the electricity comes from.
