    Might I throw onto the table thorium power plants?

      You can throw up all over the place for all the difference it makes. Sure, there are benefits that sound great, but the reality is they don’t exist. I think India has the biggest investment in trying to figure it out, but it’s not there yet and may never be

        What do you mean, thorium is far more common than uranium and require less processing to be used. Plus, it isn’t always active like uranium, meaning it can be controlled a little better. It’s worth looking into.

          That’s exactly what I mean. There are benefits that sound great. However there’s not a practical reactor based on that, yet.

          In some ways it seems like fusion. Every few years you see a flurry of headlines of how great it would be, and we’re only ten years away, but it hasn’t happened
