It seems to offer a solution but if you can't get material for weapon use why bother.

I think we face a problem of stock control. If you own oil coal or U you need to sell all of it before you move on...much like getting rid of last years cars before the new model arrives.

Does anyone know why thorium seems to be being overlooked.
