TED : Is Thorium the answer to our energy problems ?

Very interesting talk at TED. How come we are not hearing more about Thorium ?

You can sign this ..... PETITION

If you want the Government to Provide Funding for Liquid-Fluoride Thorium Reactor (LFTR) Research and Development for Energy Independence.

Thorium is nearly a Perfect Fuel. Fund it's development.

It has been presented to Google and TED.com. Videos below.

Liquid-Fluoride Thorium Reactor (LFTR) has been proven by previous US research and operated for nearly 5 years (1965-1969).

LFTR is PASSIVELY safe. During a loss of power or overheating, nuclear fuel is separated (passively) into non-critical holding tanks. It runs at low pressure compared to existing reactors.

LFTR is CHEAP, proliferation adverse, and domestic.

Thorium has proven reserves of well over 1000 years of current world usage.

Thorium could produce power for the entire world at levels far beyond current production.

Imagine a world with nearly infinite power.
