I can buy that there is protectionism here in the U.S. of the present nuclear industry by those in the game. However, that argument is without merit in India or China or even Japan for that matter prior to their recent disaster.
I know there is a problem with finding a metal or other material that can handle the corrosiveness of the thorium molten salts, but I have been hearing about thorium since I was in college about 30 years ago and it does not seem like we are any closer today than we were when an active thorium reactor was in use at Oak Ridge.
If thorium has so much potential (and I think it does) where is the real world application? China would love to have a cheap energy source that did not pollute. India would also love the same. I don’t think the U.S. nuclear industry has much say in Asia.
Why? The Globalists need to control all sources of 'energy' and uranium is a very popular source. That is why the Clinton Foundation is involved in the Uranium One scandal. Where do India, China, and Japan get their uranium ?
If those countries no longer had to use uranium, who would that affect ?
