It is everywhere in high amounts. 1 million tons of lunar dust could make 70 tons of helium-3. A 7 percent yield sounds amazing to me.
Fusion reactors are actively being developed. Fusion has already been achieved. I don't think it is fiction any more.
To add to all this, many governments (like the US, China, and Russia) have made statements regarding an intent to establish a permanent facility in the moon to harvest helium-3.
