i am sure i am going to be shouted down but i am going into bat again for thorium nuke power. Just to point out the difference from the present nuke reactors thorium doesn't

1. produce material that can be used in nuke weapons
2. produces significantly less nuke waste and can be used to "burn" said waste.
3. CAN'T meltdown like present uranium reactors.
4. will cost significantly less (estimated cost for a 1GW reactor is 200million or something its in the article i posted earlier not the 1.2billion for present reactors)
5. its here now (other tech can take over in the future... well should take over)

i only raise this tech because it presents the most economically long term sound energy investment plan for the world (australia's fear of nuke power aside)
