The "abundance" of 3He on the Moon is theoretical as yet, and would require massive mining operations (in situ) to exploit even if it is as abundant as theorized.

Bringing 3He back from the Moon won't do much good until there are fusion reactors which can use it. We can't even produce energy by fusing hydrogen yet. Any such investment would be very long term, indeed. With no near term returns on that investment.

Very true. Fusion power is forty years away, and has been for the last sixty years. We can make tridium on Earth. We won't need tridium from the moon for at least a hundred years.
