There is a great web page here: http://www.thoriumenergyalliance.com/
As for it being actively promoted...well surprise surprise, China is implementing thorium based power as we fiddle about in Oz.

Is it already up and running yet? No didn't think so. We already have the solution to coal fired power stations. Solar power, wind power & hydro have been proven to work and are already in use around the world (and please don't feed me that crap about base load - IT"S A MYTH!!!).
I simply cannot understand this constant desire amongst some people that the only way to get energy is to dig stuff out of the ground. If you try hard enough you really can give up this addiction.
