| Bitmap Frogs said: Helium 3 is nice, but it's useless until we develop fusion. It's a loooong way - for starters, we haven't even achieved ignition. We're talking 2030-2050. If it happens. |
And even then, I'm sure it would be far cheaper to manufacture HE3 on Earth.
Of course it would require a huge radioactive farm to grow the HE3 since it's a product of radioactive decay.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
