Thorium fuel of the future. Safe, abundant, dense. Russia Today

you are insane people like this need shooting fission reactors need to be shut down and put to the dustbin they really are too dangerous in corporate hands. All be it a professor in a lab etc knows what he is doing but not in hands like these corporations. Fusion reactors on the other hand are a different kettle of fish. The more we go down the nuclear route the more we hinder real innovation. The big players wont invest in innovation if they think the solution exists fission is NOT the solution

Japan was supposed to build molten salt thorium reactors. These are the kinds of investments that governments should initiate, instead of creating budget deficits on wind-mills and subsidizing biofuels. Nuclear plants, hydroelectric dams, geothermal plants, maglev rail ways and high speed rail, water treatment centers, river systems, irragation systems. Declare the present monetary financial system bankrupt, implement a separation between commercial and investment banking and kick off a new!

And they wouldn't even need to mine the stuff themselves. The amount of thorium in the waste of existing coal mining would provide over 10x the energy of the mined coal itself. And it would be cheap to buy and refine.

The oil industry - now investing in wind turbines - will never let it happen unless we, the people, demand it.

If they build the Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor (LFTR) on a large scale, we could end of age of using coal for powerplants--and that will be a lot less air and land pollution.

@Sacto1654

Why not use the latest in coal gasification technology.

[fireofenergy]

@apex02001 No reason to if we implement LFTR. It is so compact that it can conceivably be put in a large aircraft... which the original study focused on! (ARE). It displaces the need to burn Billions of tons of fossil fuels every year, creates enough energy to synthesize liquid fuels from CO2 and water and would negate 85,000 tons of uranium (mostly wasted as waste in stupid LWR's).

All with just 5,000 tons of thorium!

China will patent LFTR (since found in the public domain)!

@Sacto1654 and kill everyone on the damn planet.

[RickMaltese]

Exactly Jack. The man in the interview Kirk Sorensen recently announced FLIBE Energy his new company that will make the first LFTR.

People are disproportionally scared of nuclear energy. This isn't accidental. It drives profits. I'm afraid you're not struggling against education; you are struggling against the greed of the powerful. Their best bet is to build it, and prove it.

[Rustyshackleford08]

We've got to do this.

RT is excellent innits unbiased and non Zionist approach to news. A great antidote to the likesif FOX and CNN

[mek4life]

francesco totti !!! 2:38 I love how he is chosen to represent Rome!! I just finished watching Roma highlight and on to study geochemistry and I stumbled upon El Pupone again, haha

[RickMaltese]

In case you didn't see Kirk Sorensen in the news talking about Thorium nuclear energy.
