There are more resources in the solar system though

How do you extract them? How much energy would you be expending by extracting them?

If you don't have to worry about money you can be very efficient with energy. It just takes a little mass to trick asteroids to leave the belt and hang out near the moon if you don't have to have it done in time for a quarterly profit.
