China discovers 'limitless' energy source that could power the country for 60,000 years, in new declassified docs .

China discovered a vast thorium deposit that could provide enough energy to power the country for 60,000 years , And it’s been investing heavily in thorium-based nuclear technology and has started construction on the world's first thorium molten-salt reactor (TMSR) power station in the Gobi Desert. The facility is expected to be operational by 2029

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.
