Any of these whining enviro-leftists and teenagers that are freaking out about CO2, if they don’t mention Thorium in the next breath, you know they are liars with ulterior motives (or deeply ignorant about energy density.)

Molten salt reactors and thorium could have solved this problem since the 1960s when oak ridge built one and ran it for five years. Our STUPID federal government has been in the way of innovation all along.

You can mine thorium in your back yard. It is literally everywhere, and the supply is endless.

Molten salt reactors are completely safe, there is no such thing a meltdown, they can be made to fit on a semi truck and delivered anywhere, the waste is few ounces per lifetime.

And frick government money. If they just GET OUT OF THE WAY, existing private enterprises can have this technology up and running within 10 years.

So absurd that all this hasn’t happened years ago.

I truly dont understand how people can say climate change is their biggest concern and still be anti nuclear - even disregarding thorium. This isnt the 60's and they are much, much safer. If climate change is an "existential threat" as they like to say, any perceived negative of nuclear is far outweighed by continued reliance in fossil fuels.

I really just dont think the elected officials understand technology and new advancements to any degree. They largely spend their working lives as a part of the political class and have no exposure.

They havent even had a congressional committee to discuss technological advancements and their potential impact since like 19995 (really bad time to stop paying attention).
