Thorium is good stuff. The problem is that all Thorium reactors are breeder reactors. You can also put Uranium in breeder reactors. They can then be tuned to create weapons grade materials making nuclear proliferation almost impossible to stop.
India has the world's largest Thorium reserves and is actively working on development of commercial Thorium power. Look to India for future developments.
Do you think global warming is a fraud?
