The "traditional" nuclear industry (read: capitalist) has nothing to gain from using a Thorium cycle. They would lose significant revenue in charging for reactor cost, fuel supply and decomissioning costs.
There is a great web page here:

As for it being actively promoted...well surprise surprise, China is implementing thorium based power as we fiddle about in Oz.
