Obama could kill fossil fuels overnight with a nuclear dash for thorium

[cancel2 2022]

If there was the political will, thorium based reactors could be developed within five years. Even Greepeace is discussing it as a serious safe and cleaner alternative to uranium.

how much shielding would be required...you know those gamma rays

It doesn't require a containment dome and it never needs refuelling as it is totally enclosed.

I wonder what the treehugger from California has to say about it?

I read a lot of criticism of this article before, but I don't feel like sourcing it or reciting it.

Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, and Argonne national laboratories are designing a self-contained nuclear reactor with tamper-resistant features. Called SSTAR (small, sealed, transportable, autonomous reactor), this next-generation reactor will produce 10 to 100 megawatts of electricity and can be safely transported on ship or by a heavy-haul transport truck.

Well, I'd personally love to see thorium reactors become a widespread tech.

Thorium is fake.

I think Asshat is officially trolling now.

I think you still need to explain how our economy recovers when jobs are being sent overseas, thus sucking all wealth overseas and destroying consumer demand and standard of living.

Thorium is a Jewish conspiracy.
