Thorium is nowhere even close to being a viable technology. Even at the most optimistic estimates (that are somewhat based in reality) it'll be multiple decades until this stuff can make an impact. We don't have that kind of time.

I accept that. But if were Thorium I'd be jumping up and down with pompoms.
