Thorium Reactors Research. The Real Solution to Global Warming!
Why is this important?
China dominates the rare earth element market. Rare Earth Elements are critical to high tech items (smart phones/tablets, ect)The US needs to re-start its rare earth element mines but a solution must be provided for the Thorium by-product. The best solution to this problem is to use Thorium in the next generation of nuclear reactors. The US explored this area but stopped in the early 1970 because Thorium reactors make no bomb material. In addition Thorium reactors use passive safety not active safety as is used in Uranium reactors. We need to have an adult disscussion of future energy policy, because the sun does not always shine and the wind does not always blow, we need a third option which does not include carbon.
