You mean that there's a CO2-free way of powering society? We can't have that! Without CO2 the carbon credit extortion racket crumbles.

It's like a racism-free society leaving Jackson and Sharpton (The Justice Bruthiz) without jobs.

The germans are flooding the eu market with their solar and wind energy. Stock energy prices therefore have droped tremendous. Conventional nuclear technology in germany is dead for a reason: The taxpayer had to pay the bill for nuclear waste disposal and the uninsured risks. Not so on this new kind of reactor. It seems quite safe and “burns” the nuclear waste from conventional nuclear powerplants. That could be an option, even in germany i think.

The Chinese are big players in lftr reactors. The US currently has 4 companies working on lftr designs —including bill gates — and the canadians have one company working on this. The entry of the Germans should be followed by the Japanese the Russians and the Indians into LFTR designs. Thorium is already being experimented with as a fuel in traditional reactors in Norway.

In the next year this space is going to get a lot more attention worldwide because the promise of LFTR designs is just staggering. To catch the pure vision embodied by lftr designs check out http://www.amazon.com/kindle-store/dp/B0089Z7V6Y.
