Listen, I understand that Nuclear Energy is still attractive. When it comes to science, I tend to walk away from tradition.What happened in Japan a couple of years ago, is a clear sign that nuclear energy is too risky to become fully dependent on it. I'm not proposing to rid ourselves of nuclear energy entirely, but I am certainly in favor of greater control of both nuclear energy production and weapons of mass destruction.
One of the best parts of the proposed Helium-3 reaction is the complete lack of radioactive byproducts. No neutrons are emitted, and no isotopes are left as products that could radioactively decay. The proton is a particularly nice side product, since clean energy can be harnessed from this stray proton by manipulating it in an electrostatic field.
