FYI - Thorium is a waste product found in mine tailings, huge piles of which already exist across the globe. Which = Nearly Free Energy LFTR reactors are walk away safe. GE & Westinghouse are suppressing this competition, because they sell Uranium fuel rods. As far as citizens & costs of energy and safer reactor technology Thorium makes sense. They didn't like Nicola Tesla's dream of virtually free energy either. Also LFTR reactors are more difficult to use to produce nuclear weapons from.
