In a rational world, we’d have nuclear powered cars, trucks, trains, ships, and planes.
A “marble” sized core of Thorium Flouride would power a steam turbine car for its entire lifespan, plus power your home when it was parked. Surely we can build a containment vessel that would literally withstand anything that can happen to a vehicle that moves less than 200mph.
A single ton of Thorium will produce a MILLION horsepower continuously for a YEAR. That would power a cruise ship for ten years without refueling.
The smaller quantity of Thorium compared to Uranium needed plus its unsuitability for weapons might be key to expanding nuclear power beyond land based power generation and military naval use.
I can imagine small compact Thorium Fluoride Reactors producing electricity to cities, shopping centers and buildings, all over this nation. It would be the nuclear energy that would make us truly energy independent. It would reduce the cost of energy and make it safer to produce.
Thank you for exposing you total ignorance of engineering and technology.
A single ton of Thorium will barely produce enough energy to toast your bread ...
