Thorium. Problem solved. We could solve this issue in 10 years or less. America should take the lead in this. We know how to harness Nuclear and Molten Salt Reactors are so much more safe and meltdown proof. \
I agree wholeheartedly about thorium and believe it will eventually provide much of our electricity, but I am stunned at how slow the progress has been. There must be some powerful lobbies shutting it down or there are technical difficulties of which we are not aware because I honestly expected the transition to thorium for nuclear power to begin a decade ago and it does appear any closer today than it did 5 years ago.
Still wondering why the Navy has not pushed this more to power ships.
