    @michael_w_busch @thematic I keep telling people: if you want "clean" fusion power you really need to go to Boron-11 plus P, which is *even harder* than 3He (and we can barely do 3He fusion in lab tests). The 3He fusion folks just want an excuse to go vandalize the moon for dollar bills. Fundamentally not serious (except at mining their investors' wallets.)

    I keep pointing out that it takes more energy to bake helium-3 out of lunar regolith than could be released by burning it in a hypothetical reactor.

    But, to my more general point above, that I would grant is not that widely known.
