Yeah....I'm a geek. Thanks for taking notice of the handle.
That might be a great investment for 20 or 30 generations down the line.
The current use of H3 is in cold fusion technology in a research capacity only.
The amount of H3 required to actually create usable power on a large scale is phenomenal.
Until we can harvest it from the gas giants or create it on a grand scale we have little or no hope of actually utilizing it for the cold fusion process in a commercial application.
