Global Clean Energy Within Reach

A new study -- co-authored by Stanford researcher Mark Z. Jacobson and UC-Davis researcher Mark A. Delucchi -- analyzing what is needed to convert the world's energy supplies to clean and sustainable sources says that it can be done with today's technology at costs roughly comparable to conventional energy. But converting will be a massive undertaking on the scale of the moon landings. What is needed most is the societal and political will to make it happen.

efficient and clean alternative

It would be better if we will find more alternative renewable sources of power aside from what is presented here.

Thorium (non fissionable) has to be bombarded with neutrons to convert to Uranium 233 which is fissioanable. India is working on it.

@killingrang It never was used. It was only on the drawing board and basic models. It was abandoned because it was developed for bombers and people decided they didn't want nuclear bombers. Also it does not make plutonium which was valuable during the nuclear arms race.

Why is thorium nuclear energy not used more?

I have free energy technology if the states wants it they must agree to my terms. First, sucede to canada and let us rule the world, second, accept my system for world peace.
