-——Things happen for a reason. ——

The reason of course is money. Oak Ridge Thorium bureaucrats/scientists lacked the salesmanship to prevail.

I see no reason it is sad. Let the Indians develop the technology and if successful, we can use it. To whine that America must do everything mostest and firstest fails to recognize it is a big world.

I'm not saying we have to do it the mostest and the firstest. I just think we should be doing even a tiny bit of it ... by now.

We could be shipping thorium power plant components to other countries, or at least be sending engineers and architects to other countries to get them built.

Would do wonders for our balance of trade.
