In reply to MSF's message of Wed, 21 Jan 2026 03:21:18 +0000: Hi, While it appears that some He3 has been found in Olivine on Baffin island, I could find no mention of the actual potential resource. Furthermore He3 fusion is not quite as clean as implied in the otherwise entertaining video. When you fuse it with D you also inevitably get some D-D fusion as well, according to:-
D + D -> He3 + n D + D -> T + p The first of these creates free neutrons which over the long term make the reactor radioactive. The second creates T, which can also react with more D according to:- T + D -> He4 + n (14 MeV) this is a high energy neutron, implying considerable shielding would be needed, so the video is a bit of a beat up. I half expected the date to be April 1. You won't see He3 fusion rectors in cars or planes any time soon, though ships are a possibility, and possibly freight trains. Fusion powered electricity generation is actually likely. See also https://www.helionenergy.com/. This company is has contracted with Microsoft to deliver 50 MW of fusion power to a datacentre in 2028. They plan to make their own He3 using the D+D reaction here above. Note that Helion take special measures to reduce the side reactions as much as possible. D is of course present as 1 Hydrogen atom in 6400 in water implying a near endless resource in the ocean.
