Now there is the spirit unfortunately you gotta bring your own water and potassium as well as pretty much everything other than CO2 , Nitrogen and Sulfur.

I'm like 90% sure there would be a way to gather hydrogen and oxygen from the atmosphere and get water.

Unfortunately it would be heavy water The Veneral deuterium/hydrogen ratio tips drastically to the deuterium side.

I was thinking if maybe there was a way to condense the solar wind with a big ole negatively charged field. What do you get when you mix superheated hydrogen ions and [C]O2?

I left out a C

A bad joke.

And there's no way to make that work towards our means?

I looked it up Methane and Water a big wet fart. So you are correct about the bad joke.

Heavy water is used as a coolant in reactors but energy is cheap on Venus and heavy metals are not.
