So, all we have to do is perfect nuclear fusion, the holy grail of physicists, and not only get all that lovely Helium 3 down from the moon, but handle this pesky little problem, from your own source:

"to produce roughly 70 tons of helium 3, for example, a million tons of lunar soil would need to be heated to 1,470 degrees Fahrenheit (800 degrees Celsius) to liberate the gas"

How, exactly, do you propose that we get the fuel, and the oxygen required to sustain the fire, to the moon to build a fire burning at 1,470 degrees and lasting long enough to melt a million tons of lunar soil? Not to mention the equipment and manpower necessary to pull off that little feat.
