Do you support the use of nuclear energy?
No, we should invest in cleaner alternatives such as wind, hydroelectric, thorium, and geothermal
Thorium is nuclear. Thorium is just a different fuel and chemical/atomic reaction process.
Yes it requires the assist element plutonium to start a reaction so it's really hard to make into a…
While it's true that thorium is more energy dense and harder to weaponize compared to uranium, it's worth noting that the development and deployment of thorium-based reactors are still in their infancy. For example, India has been working on their thorium-based Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR) for years, but it's yet to become fully operational. Moreover, the costs and challenges associated with setting up a thorium-based nuclear industry shouldn't be underestimated. How do you propose we tackle these issues while transitioning from uranium-based reactors to thorium-based ones?
