Ramping up Alchemy.

I think it is possible to mass produce Gold. Using Seaborg's
techniques (particle accelerator) and the new solar energy generators
11Mghz power. The only ongoing material expense would be water and
lead. I suppose there would be more embodied energy in the mining of
lead, unless we gather the lead that is already mined.

In any case the solar energy used would be clean.
