Who does one pay for the fuel cost of wind and solar?
....
The costs for solar and wind are capital costs and maintenance costs

Fuel costs for thorium are a tiny $0.00004/kWh versus...wind appx. 14 cents /kWh; solar thermal about 26 cents/kWh and solar photovoltaic a hefty 40 cents/kWh.

Why would you compare "fuel costs" of thorium to capital costs of solar and wind? Does thorium not have any capital cost?
