LFTR Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor question to President Obama

The world population is growing and so is energy demand. It has been suggested that a fundamental solution is needed to stop climate change, stabilize population growth, and satisfy an energy hungry world. It is physically impossible for solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, tidal, and biomass to generate enough power to meet even our current energy needs without destroying the environment in the process.

A technology that is gaining popularity called the Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor will cost 50% less than current reactors manufactured today. This reactor is also impossible to melt down, does not require expensive fuel fabrication, is proliferation resistant, generates 1/1000th the amount of waste our current reactors produce, and this waste lasts only 300 years instead of 10,000.

As of 2007 a large group of nuclear physisists and engineers have created the Thorium Energy Alliance which seeks to build a $600 million liquid fluoride thorium reactor proof of concept which can then be mass produced by corporate entities and sold worldwide.

This technology is also being actively pursued in France and Japan which expects their first reactor of this type to come online in 2014. Why is the United States government not funding this kind of groundbreaking technology that has the potential to bring cheap, clean, safe electricity that will stop climate change and power the entire world for thousands of years?

Thanks for supporting LFTR!

All those who oppose have been lulled into thinking that "it's baaaaad" just because it's nuclear, but it's not really their fault. When I was (as old as) 30, I hated it too because I couldn't (er, didn't want to) understand the fundamental differences between a light water reactor and a molten salt (or metal) reactor.

Media manipulation still has a strong foothold across the nations. Thus we have to be ardent in proclamation yet patient in explanation.

@Dubious07 You're the idiot, sport. Take a few English lessons before you post next time ...

[catandpiddle]

good post. thank you!



[Dubious07]

u an idiot ... if just the persian gulf area had 50 sq mile of turbines we could power the whole planet in just one hour a day lol u stupid shit stop listening to bull shit ... check in to nicola tesla , steve mayer or any of the free energy enthusists of the planet !!!!!

@MooreEthen Don't you know, that COLD FUSION will save us! (That, and wind/solar helped along with a good healthy dose of conspiracy-suppressed Atlantean Crystal Power and Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Magick... or whatever else the anti-nuke crowd believes in.)

I suspect the global elites are very aware of the potential of thorium nuclear power; and they will implement it AFTER the coming fossil fuel crunch (and resulting famine, pestilence and war) cause a 50%-to-90% dieoff of the world population. No need for investors then; governmental decree will suffice.

The perpetrators of the biggest holocaust in human history will be able to pass themselves off as saviors to a desperate and suffering world. The lust for power corrupts totally, and always will.

You don't understand how competition works.

Get it funded by private industry.

Sorry they are putting all the flouride in our water to make sure we don't think too much... They already have free energy and are suppressing the technology.. search magnetic motor...
