I'd be curious what Andrew thinks of He3 fusion. My understanding is that D-He3 and, to even a greater extent, He3-He3 fusion is much "harder" than D-T fusion, and we have yet to achieve breakeven on D-T. Does the lower neutron flux or some other factor make it THAT much easier to build a He3 reactor? If not, I would doubt we could even determine it could practically be used for several decades - and we might develop whole new ideas in that time.
