Nuclear power plants generate/produce electricity. What fuel do they use to operate?
..........
Thorium will likely be the big breaking story over the next decade. The US had working reactors during the 60’s but abandoned them in the early 70’s for dumb reasons. lftr Thorium reactors are not only safe but they also have virtually no radiation. They can be used to burn uranium wastes. Portable low cost versions can be made in factory and shipped to locations where there’re needed. Best of all they can produce electricity for 1/4-1/10 of current cheapest coal costs.

Do I smell a free lunch?
I didn't think it existed.

I read a sci fi story once where humans went on and on and on with all the free lunches with everything under the sun, including the sun itself, used for fuel.

FINALLY, at the very end, when ALL, that is, ALL sources for fuel and power were 100% exhausted. Humanity was at its very end of existence.

Then,

was heard:

LET THERE BE LIGHT.

Great sci fi, innit? :o)
