Thorium, energy source for the future

You can find all sorts of nodes in Winterspring. (Sorry, World of Warcraft reference)

I am asking for all sides in the climate change, global warming, carbon dioxide, carbon footprint debate to consider supporting thorium

Thorium reactors have been discussed here on several occasions in the past. The fly in the ointment is that most of those parties you reference above are not interested in solving the "energy problem." They just use it as a club to advance their own agendas, to beat up the nation and undercut its security.

Two basic possibilities:

Does it work? If so, the Left will oppose it and find endless reasons why it is environmentally dangerous.

Does it not work? If so, the Left will declare viability to be "just around the corner" and will siphon off hundreds of billions for subsidies -- right up until it is shown to work. Then they will block it.

I understand that both India and China are working on Thorium reactors.

[bkopto]

a source all sides can support. I think I have found it. It is thorium.

Sorry to rain on your parade Mr Coleman, but cheap, clean, abundant energy is the LAST thing in the world that the Watermelons want.

Why, think of all the economic activity and growth such cheap clean energy would spur: more people will be born, more resources will be used as a result, etc, etc.

No, the Watermelons won't stand for that. Too many "bad" secondary effects come into play.

The Watermelons will only be satisfied when there are only a few thousand people left in the world. And those people should be living in caves.

The greens will still oppose it. Why? Because they’re really reds...

[nolongerademocrat]

I think the Nazis were working on Thorium for a power source back in the 1940s - interesting.

[piytar]

Oh, and to be fair: thorium reactors are inevitable. The physics is hashed out. Some tricky engineering left, but nothing insurmountable in a few years.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The last thing on earth the elite want is cheap energy for the masses.

They will make up any excuse to stop it.

[Crucial]

It is cheap; an abundant resource found in the desert salts and rocks in virtually every country on Earth. It is relatively cheap and simple to use.

And its adoption would leave rogue nations no excuse to pursue traditional nuclear power that could be used to produce nuclear weapons.

[lurk]

The enviros want no more than .5 billion people on this planet. That is the plan. Until they reach that population target, they will be pushing toward it.
