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.

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