Thorium Energy Alliance Conference - check for the next one at thoriumenergyalliance.com .
The Thorium Energy Alliance is a 501(c)3 [pending] organization that promotes the research and development of a Thorium Energy Economy.
This preliminary video presents the core reasons that Thorium must be pursued as an energy source.
We encourage viewers to join the Thorium Energy Alliance and to contact decision makers and promote this overlooked and proven technology.

Please join the Thorium Energy Alliance,

    A Molten Salt Reactor would create energy cheaper than coal. So I can imagine that fertilizers could be made with far less Fossil fuels. MSR would also provide a lot of surplus heat that could be used to purify water and reform hydrocarbons, this would provide more applications for food production.

    You would be very interested in the Videos explaining the huge opportunity that Rare Earths and Thorium Working together can provide. There are several fro Jim Kennedy. Rare Earths make all of modern technology work, and you get Thorium when you find Rare Earths - so you get the materials and power of the future!!

    This is very interesting!

    What other elements can be harnessed, and do they have any unique functions?

    I hope someone messages me and explains :)

    The Thorium Age, got a ring to it...

    , The entire Rare Earth family holds many applications today that make things like magnets very efficient. We have only scratched the surface of what they can do. And when you find rare earths, you find Thorium. So you find the materials of the future and the energy of the future together!

    i am more than sceptic ... for decades they have been telling us about the benefits of atomic energy .... no one told us about chernobyl before until it happened ....

    it is more than logical to believe that atomic energy proposals are merely a lie and a manipulation of the masses

    sooner or later they will come up with the problems --- which "no one" expected

    and not to mention this helium-3 story ...

    , I think one thing that will allay your skepticism is that the MSRE and ARE ran for over 20,000 hours. So it is not a proposed system, or something modeled on a computer - MSR, "LFTR" , ARE existed and worked very well.

    The simple answer was that when the original reactors were designed, people realized that no weapons could be made from Thorium, so it was no use to the military that was paying for development.

    There is no real opposition, just ignorance - that is what we are trying to eliminate.

    Technically we know how to build molten salt reactors because we built them before - we just want a modern version. Now!

    I Love this video! Thanks for the Thorium intro. What's the sound-track?

    Why would they have told you about Chernobyl before it happened?

    There's no logic in assumeing lies from the tiny atomic industry compared 2 the coal industry! Would you rather have cheap power that does not contribute to climate change or coal-burning power plants that use a finite resource, can't be made clean, & give off radiation to surrounding communities? People are drastically misinformed about atomic power and the media's complicit. Chernobl wouldn't have met US stds anyway.

    I don't get it. Why aren't countries in Europe investing in thorium reactors?

    @MsAllahhuakhbar In fact, China is allegedly building a small scale prototype LFTR in Shanghai, with aims to re4ach criticality in 2015.

    @MsAllahhuakhbar This is very true and not many know or sadly care.But they will care someday when they are left far behind and insist on following the way of the Dinosaur (oil,so to speak) costing their Country untold Billions.Corporations run everything and some will not give up their stranglehold without exploiting something else even if it's 'free'. You would think that they would be eager for this opportunity, but they are not concerned for the future generations.

    In video he said USA has enough of that resource to last for 1 000 years, but does that prediction includes any models of exponential growth or its based on "if the energy use stayed steady for next 1 000 years" idea? Because something that lasts 1 000 years in a steady use can run out in 50 years if the use of energy exponentially grows... Watch: The Most IMPORTANT Video You'll Ever See (part 1 of 8)

  • fireofenergy

    It would take 1 out of every fifty units of land to power everything with solar (assuming robotically mass produced panels energy storage, batteries and at electric car efficiencies). That's for ~10 billion people at the western standard. With solar, we would NOT have the extra energy to go any further...

    LFTR could power 10 X this population. It would be up to our grandkids to figure out the coolest 3 dimensional cities, that is, a solution to urban sprawl...

    It's a good stepping stone technology, but eventually, we will develop fusion power, the world's cleanest energy source.

    I believe that this technology will be ignored because some countries might skip over the fission age and directly enter the fusion age once they figure out how to fuse hydrogen atoms.
