I think it’s the fault of sloppy thinking.

We create the artificial category of “illegal drugs,” then insist on treating all in that category the same, whether we’re talking pot, crack or meth. Many people do the same with “chemicals” or “pesticides,” substances that have wildly different characteristics within the group.

Similarly, I think we insist that all fission reactors are the same, when they clearly are not.

My problem with the thorium reactors is that every article I’ve read on the subject was obviously written by a fanboy. I’m really interested in an article that lays out their weaknesses as well as their advantages.

Good observation.
The left and media have a long history of lumping together disparate issues in order to sway public opinion.
To make things sound worse than what they are, by associating them with some other known bad thing, even when the relationship is rather weak.

So, instead of articles written by fanboys, you want something written by haters?
