Is this the LFTR design? Our son has been reading a lot about it, and is fascinated with the technology.
Yes, it’s the LFTR (Liquid Floride Thorium Reactor) design. And it is potentially revolutionary. We could have this thing producing commercial energy within a decade or so. And with the abundance of cheap, clean energy, we could start producing methanol or hydrogen from coal and/or natural gas. That could be used in cars to eliminate our dependence on foreign oil. Think about it.
