Russian scientists estimate based on their current shuttle technology that the processing and transporting of 1 Ton He-3 should cost around 1,000,000,000 $
According to the same source 25 Tons are needed per year to cover the Earth energy needs with the total cost of 25,000,000,000 $ witch is the half of the current USA energy total costs of 50,000,000,000 $.
Getting adequate energy costs for all countries is hard because there is no statistics for it, especially for the developing countries. Most of the statistics are based on the annual power consumption in the developed countries: http://www.iea.org/publications/freepubl...n/kwes.pdf http://www.eia.gov/forecasts/ieo/pdf/0484%282013%29.pdf http://www.eia.gov/forecasts/aeo/pdf/038...13%29.pdff
This is rough data, I got more precise numbers but sadly I am not allowed to share it.
However this is without infrastructure costs for the future fusion plants that cannot be estimated, I would have rough data on that next week when I meet our engineer group that works on experimental reactor designs, I bet they have more information then me.
Anyway the players here are 4- EU, USA, China and BRIKS. The rest does not have the means to participate in the new moon conquest. I just hope that it wont end bloody and ugly.
