Exactly. From what I have read, I think the thorium reactor can provide safe, reliable power. However, there is also the ITER reactor. A Tokamak type reactor that uses magnetic fields to contain plasma. On paper it looks promising. What say you?

From what I've read of Tokamak reactors, they're kind of an elusive unicorn. Not unlike cold fusion.

Thorium salt reactors, on the other hand, are proven and tested technology that deliver the expected and needed results, without the radioactive byproducts.
