According to who? Actual numbers? The spinning surface settlement
is going to be consuming lots of energy to start out with, for
lighting, heating/cooling, etc.

I don't think the idea of spinning hubs for providing 1 G on the
moon/mars has been studied in any kind of thorough engineering-
oriented way. Or if it has, I'd like to know where the studies can
be found.
