Scientists reckon there are about one million tons of helium 3 on the moon, enough to power the earth for thousands of years. The equivalent of a single space shuttle load or roughly 30 tons could meet all U.S. electric power needs for a year, Kulcinski said by e-mail.

Aha! . . . An answer to that question we asked the other day.

If I recall, there has yet to be a demonstration of commercial nuclear fusion. Seems like all this 3-helium reference is of the nature of a forward-looking statement.
