    Being picky: can you give me a more specific link to text info that you would like to share (not video since I am at work)? I am a big fan of Thorium reactors and would like to read the new info you indicate.

    From reading Kirk's website, the Chinese are planning to produce power from Thorium within 10 years.

    He is looking to build support for America to build the technology

    Thorium is good stuff.. For all practical purposes it is also pretty much a renewable source of energy since their is more of it available in the solar system than we could hope to use between now and when the sun goes out. Also, thanks to being a liquid fuel we can actually get our hands on the useful by-products that result from the reaction. Which are a number of rare earth metals, and platinum. Also a couple of medically useful isotopes leaving a very small footprint of "waste" material which does not need to be stored for nearly as long as the mess we currently have. To top it off we can set aside a couple of reactors to react down our current stockpile of very nasty waste which essentially gives the stuff we are trying to find a place to bury a second life. So, recycling! on top of it..
