Didn’t the Indians already do this or was it test reactors? I never understood why thorium reactors not being used

Can’t use the waste for nuclear weapons

That’s always the answer one reads but does that really make sense? I want nukes, I build a few plants to make dirty shit to blow other people up. I then build a load of coal fired plants instead of a bunch of thorium ones? Makes no sense to me

Might make sense in the early days for the US to build stockpile. Then…just no one did it? I dunno. Coal lobby? Environmentalists? It’s stupid.

Lobbying probably good answer

So that's China with all the BTC after '29 then🤷🏻‍♂️😂.

so an idea they stole from america in the 1960s 😂
