re:"And one of the fantastic benefits of using Thorium cycle nukes is their ability to take that waste that is now waiting to be buried in Nevada (not gonna happen) and disposing of it by the expedient of using it to make more power."

Facts like these get me so frustrated at the current energy path. I'm very close to writing to congressman .

i just CANT understand why we want to spend billions to store nuclear waste and weapons material in ONE BIG PLACE when we could use it for energy and get rid of it without causing pollution.

I'll say it right now... using thorium in nuclear IS the world energy solution. Forget anything else. Its very frustrating to see the world ignore this technology.

Thorium could have an 8 bil MC down the road.
