Question

Helium 3, will it solve the worlds energy demands?.?

Answer 1

If you can find a ready supply of helium then you bet! - But it has a nasty habit of dissapearing from our planet.

Answer 2

no, unless they somehow managed to use it in fusion reactors.

edit

Bakaneko

arnt we talking about Helium, its an inert gas so how do they use it in engines??

Answer 3

Fusion reactors being "clean" is a myth. They produce just like regular rectors several by-products which are radioactive and have a quite long half-life (although shorter than the ones produced by fission)

Answer 4

if we make a space elevator , yes,

the only place abundant / close enough being the moon

so , let's root for progress in the carbon tube industry first

hurray hurray for carbon tubes

@ gengi , a He3 engine is far easier to make than a nuclear fusion/ fission plant.. it's just the He3 that's hard to get.
