As a professional energy trader who reads virtually all of the available research, I was pretty shocked last years when I was meeting with some top Research Scientists running a prominent PHD program and they suggested that Thorium was the key to the worlds energy crisis. I had never even heard of Thorium and certainly didn't know anyone doing work on the subject.
For those that don't know, its essential a safer nuclear process with the primary advantage being that it essentially can't be weaponized. If you look at conventional nuclear and think of Pakistan, North Korea, Iraq, etc., you can imagine how difficult it would be to argue against allowing developing nations a "safe" nuclear technology.
Check it out and let me know what you think.
