The attraction is that it would not produce the heavy neutron bombardment that the D + T reaction will, so the plant could be built to extract power using different principles. However practical use depends on a supply of He3 which is scarce. For now this is just a theoretician's dream. See the link below

Why is gasohol better then petroleum?
Because gasohol is slightly cleaner than other fuels
Why are LPG and biogas called cleaner fuels?
They produce less emissions than traditional fossil fuels.
What produces more energy fusion or fission?
Yes and No. This really depends on what you mean.If you are talking about a single event, the fission of a uranium atom typically releases about 200 million electron volts (MeV). By contrast, the fusion of a deuterium atom with a tritium atom produces about 17.6 MeV. This would seem to mean that fission produces more energy. And it does - per event.On the other hand, a deuterium atom has an atomic mass of 2, and a tritium atom has an atomic mass of 3. So the fusion involving an atomic mass of 5 produces 17.6 MeV. If we had 47 of these, the total mass would be about 235 (roughly the same as 235U) and the result would be 47x17.6 or 827.2. By contrast, 235U has an atomic mass of roughly 235. And the fission involving the atomic mass of 235 produces 200 MeV. This means that the fusion of an equal mass produces (in this particular comparison) a bit more than four times as much power. So fusion can be more powerful - by mass.But fusion of elements more massive than iron is endothermic. So it is always less powerful than fission.Also, there is a practical consideration, if you are interested in practicalities. And this relates to the amount of fuel available. We will run out of uranium and thorium ores. When that happens, fission power will no longer be possible. We will possibly never run out of fuel for fusion fuels. So fusion is a more powerful power source over time. But of course, by this standard, wind is more powerful than fission, because we will run out of the ores, but the wind will just blow on and on.
Why are fossil fuels better than other energy resources?
They are good because they are reliable, but, when they run out, they run out for a long time. That is why lots of other energy sources are being created. Hope this helps
What are the other 2 energy resources other than nonrenewable?
Renewable, and i think fossil fuels... but not very sure, But hope this helps since you know not everyone knows the resources.... Well your welcome anyway!!
What fuels can be used for RC engine cars other than nitro?
No other fuels should be used except nitro.
Are fossil fuels alternative energy?
No. Alternative energy means energy sources other than fossil fuels.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the different fuels used in portable stoves?
Use of Fuels in Portable Stoves are Lower heat output than some other fuels.
What are advantages of fossil fuels on other fuels?
The main advantage is that the government earns a lot of taxes on fossil fuels. Another advantage is the energy density, because it is higher than on alternative fuels.
What are energy sources other than fossil fuels?
solor energy
Can argon be turned into energy?
No. Other than through thermonuclear fusion.
Fusion material monsters can anyone list me fusion monsters that has effects other than elem heros...?
yes destiny end dragon
What are the advantages of using cng and lpg as fuels?
C.N.G : It is cheaper than the other fuels. It is a cleaner fuel.LPG : It is easily available in market.
Energy sources other than fossil fuels are?
Alternative Energy
Why is gasohol better then petroleum?
Because gasohol is slightly cleaner than other fuels
Is it easier to get large amounts of energy from fossil fuels than from other energy sources?
no
Why is solar power better than fossil fuels?
it is better than fossil fuels because it is better for our environment and it will last way longer than fossil fuels. :)
