"Thorium, a silvery-white metal, is a mildly radioactive element (with an atomic weight of 90) that is as abundant as lead. It is present in large quantities in India and is a much-touted stand in for uranium in nuclear reactors because its fission is not self-sustaining, a type of reaction called “sub-critical.” " yeah the greens will go for that

LOL, hey, sounds and looks great to me ... but gee, the folks who don't like nuclear power plants ... I'm pretty sure they won't like this either. Powering a car forever, no emissions, no recharging .... sounds good. And a thorium powered laser .... I'm guessing you could make a heck of a ahem, personal defence device out of that too.
