India gets it right
Thorium-based fission power must be 'ready for prime time', because India is going ahead with a real power-producing plant.
Thorium has obvious advantages over uranium: it's a much more common element, it's easier to process into usable form, it's somewhat less dangerous, and it can't be made into bombs.
One more opportunity completely missed by the fucked West, helplessly pinned under the spike-heeled jackboot of the Wall Street Gaians. We blow up our own hydro dams, let uranium plants decay, make coal more expensive, waste billions on hippie-shit solar and wind, and fail to develop thorium.
Heil Goldman! Heil Goldman! Heil Goldman! As we starve and freeze, we raise our pitifully weak right hands in one last fading salute to all-powerful and all-victorious THEORY. ¶ 5:34 PM
