But why not cut the deficit, forget the "stimulus" spending on picking winners, and leave it to people in the business to invent thorium reactors if they see a buck in it? <So this is where, if I were in power today, I would direct gov't stimulus money.. I would treat this project like we treated the Internet.. The ROI from making cheap energy available would have ripple effects throughout the entire economy. > It's not as though there's a shortage of investment money if there's a way to turn $5 into $10 by inventing thorium reactors. A better stimulus by government for thorium reactors would be to get out of the way. Cut the red tape and kleptocracy on those who would like to do it. Just Apple could invest $100 billion if they wanted to do so. GE could do it. Haven't we had enough of Barack Obama's picking winners in the electric car and photovoltaics businesses? Zero to show for it. Money down the drain which could have gone to actually useful things, such as thorium reactors, perhaps. Mqurice
