Cool theorycrafting, but converting the He3 to energy, then to "a laser" and then back to energy (on earth, after passing through the atmosphere, and hitting receptors) doesn't sound very efficient either.
There's different methods, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. If you can have a "strand" to transfer energy, surely you can have a "space elevator" that makes transporting the He3 straight to Earth much easier as well.
