I'm paraphrasing Michael Shellenberger, author of "Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All" (goodreads.com).

He made an excellent point on Tucker's show last week. The climate change narrative encourages more government control. It gives opportunity for government money to be funneled into your crony friend's hands. Why would the political elite want to end that?

So they keep pushing wind and solar power which is a pipedream. If they were serious about climate change, they wouldn't be flying on private jets to summits. They would be building nuclear power plants.

The problem is, as previously stated, there are far too many long established and very full rice bowls that would get broken by this. So it never happens.

I'm already reading thorium is usually found in coal, and the main reason coal causes problems.

They could literally burn coal and mine thorium at the same time.

What could be done and what will be done are two very different things. Don't try appealing to the good will of TPTB. They don't have any. Until the development of thorium power appeals to their own self interest, as in they have literally no other choice, it will never happen. In fact, they see it as an existential threat to their interests and the existing established order of things, which currently suits them very well, thank you, which is why you never hear about it.
