Thorium is more a long-term solution. I expect within 35 years power generation will be mostly natural gas, solar panels (in the parts of the world where solar power is actually financially viable like the southwestern quarter of the continental USA), and thorium-based molten salt reactor power plants. Sorry, nuclear fusion is still a long way away given current knowledge.

I am referring only to TMSR.

It probably is a long way off, but not because it has to be.

Politics, the public’s apprehension of uranium reactors, and the Pentagon have put the ‘kibash’ on it decades ago because it doesn’t produce weapons-grade plutonium.

In addition, big oil, big natural gas, and coal would all but go out of business if Th energy use was widespread.

The Pentagon and large corporations are significant headwinds to be sure. However, I believe there are a handful of other countries actively pursuing this source of energy, and we risk being left behind.

And the bonus? - we’ll never have to listen to those Al Gore/climate change/Paris Accord nutjobs’ BS again!
