Where and when can we expect a thorium reactor to be built? Will it be after we have anti-gravity hover boards or before then?

Molten Salt Reactors and Liquid Flouride Thorium Reactors (LFTR). They were developed in the 50s. One was built at Oak Ridge Nat Labs in the 60s. Our government chose not to use them because we wanted nuclear material from breeder reactorsfor the weapons programs.

They will be built in China because they recognize the need for energy on demand.

You really should educate yourself on this if you have more than a passing interest aside from protesting the perils of all things nuclear.
