Read the comments after the article for the rebuttals.
The fact is that any nation-state that wants to can produce nuclear weapons. If North Korea can do it, anyone can. Thorium reactors aren’t a realistic risk in this regard. As someone pointed out in the comments, anyone with a neutron source can pursue the same process without a reactor.
The world needs clean, safe energy in abundance, and thorium reactors are the most promising high density source. What we need to do is avoid the insanity of dotting the landscape with wind turbines. That is very likely to be a fad leaving thousands of rusting, expensive eyesores for all of us to “enjoy”.
Until highschool girls get off their boney asses and learn some science it ain’t going to happen. Peace symbol T shirts trump any rational discussion involving ununderstandable facts.
