Interesting. How come I’ve never heard of this alternative before? Never mind, jews.

Thor Will Save Us! No, not the Norse god or Hollywood superhero. What might save us all is thorium, which literally runs the earth at its core, keeping the world protected from being stripped of its gases by maintaining the electromagnetic field around us. Thorium is a radioactive element found in the periodic tablet. It can also be found spread widely across the earth close to the surface.
Thorium is considered a hazardous waste product when mined along with rare earths, and must be isolated and stored. Therefore, we have considerable thorium available should we ever decide to use it in nuclear reactors.
As an alternative to uranium, there are sufficient quantities to last either 1000 years, 20,000 years, or essentially indefinitely; I have seen all three numbers. That is plenty of time to develop nuclear fusion to power the world, if we are still here.
In the 1960s, it was a tossup between using uranium or thorium for peaceful atomic energy purposes. Uranium won the battle because it could be used more easily in breeder reactors to produce plutonium for nuclear weapons.
Only now can a few clear thinkers see what a terrible error ignoring thorium was. Thorium is safer than uranium by a light-year. If we consider using only the Liquid Floride Thorium Reactor (LFTR), it does not need a source of water nearby for cooling because, if something goes wrong, the liquid fluoride will expand, slowing and stopping the chain reaction, causing the fluoride salt to solidify.
