It is true that there isn’t anything that is unlimited, in a sense, but with Thorium, it is a lot more available (than Uranium, at least) produces its own U233 which can be reused, and generates a lot less waste that is a lot less radioactive (or at least is radioactive for a shorter period of time, I think I remember seeing 10 half lives in 300 years for the longest lived isotope, but don’t hold me to that)
On its face, it can’t be weaponized, and while there are some thorium decay isotopes that can be separated that decay directly into weapons grade uranium, the half life is short enough to make it impractical for that purpose, or so I am told.
From what I know of it, it seems like a winner to me.

Definitely — safe, cheap, abundant energy and we could be truly energy independent, not have to depend on the oil producing nations.
