Ok - Fair enough.
I took have an issue with the tech in wind energy. I think it is a decent idea in some applications, but there are many issues with it, primarily storage. That isn’t to say I think we should totally abandon it, but I still don’t see it as a long term solution.
With Thorium I still haven’t found a good reason for someone to NOT dump a few billion into getting a proof of concept reactor up and running. The science and number seem sound. It is unmeltdownable - you can literally walk away from it and it would be fine. Granted your point that “if it is such a good idea, why doesn’t someone do it?” has some merit - but we can find many cases where a challenge to the paradigm was met with a lot of scoffing and resistance. Treating ulcers because they were caused by bacteria, not stress, comes to mind. But this too is why I was trying to find info on why it wouldn’t work, and so far no one has shown me it couldn’t. Unlike things like Solar Roadways and the Hyperloop, and pretty much all of the herbal supplement stuff out there.
Ah, thats a good answer. Isn’t this also one reason making new nuclear reactors has been pretty stagnant as well?
