Star lifting. Mine the metals and shit out of that star and it'll potentially live trillions of years.
And no need to worry about political will. Thar's gold in that thar sun!
Gold only forms in a supernova
Gold isn't formed in the sun but plenty exists there for the same reason it exists on earth. Ancient supernova that provided the material for our star system.
But gold is just one thing they would mine there of course. My comment was referring to the value of the materials mined, not just the literal gold.
