    Thorium Power

    Why isn't it part of the energy conversation?


    More abundant than Uranium - about as abundant as lead
    200x as efficient as Uranium
    Can't make bombs
    Won't meltdown
    1% of waste compared to Uranium, easier to store
    300 years (as opposed to 10k years) for waste to become safe
