TR for moi but not for goy

We don't even have mass adoption of nuclear because of 3 incidents, 2 of which were man-made (Chernobyl would've never happened if not for the wish to experiment), and Fukushima caused by a technical oversight.
And then greentards keep pushing for "green" energy sources, which actively make everything worse. Solar en masse sucks everywhere outside of deserts, wind turbines literally destroy ecosystems, and while hydro is based, it is not applicable everywhere and also kinda fucks with the fish ecosystem, unlike nuclear.
So far, the only people doing practical work on thorium reactors are the chinese, and even then, its highly experimental.
Russia is content with their nuclear reactor dominance, France is doing their own thing, USA... what the fuck are they even doing?
Things are grim for thorium fans, don't expect shit to be real until at least 10 to 15 years in the future

Let’s take a minute to applaud the good actions
On the planet’s behalf of Light Water Reactors
If greenhouse gases are what you want to tackle
Dismissing atomic is really not a good tactic

Unlike fossil fuel, the carbon is absent
And the fatalities per terawatt is a fraction
So if you hate on it and you want to attack it
Don't forget to factor in the cost of inaction

Although, lookin’ back it could’ve been a bit foolish
To go with a solid fuel in a water coolant
That cracks when it fissions, so you gotta remove it
With ninety-nine percent of the juices still useless

And plus, it does take a lot of pressure
To heat that water to three hundred degrees
And trap it in a concrete containment vessel
In case radioactive steam gets released

I mean, Three Mile Island? Zero deaths
Fukushima Daiichi? Zero deaths
Is a nuclear technician a hero? Yes
It’s not whether it’s safe, it’s where to go next

Liquid Sodium
Makin’ new fuel out of former junk
A traveling wave comes
Molten salt with Thorium

No meltdowns anymore
‘Cause a plug drains out
When you warm it up
Fourth generation
Molten salt with Thorium

Or molten salt without it
Uranium, Plutonium, you know we ‘bout it ‘bout it
Decades of waste can now get routed
Back to the reactor to tackle a power outage

Salt, but not what's on a dinner table
Lithium and Beryllium Fluoride moderate the flow
Of neutrons – it’s hell-a chemically stable
Fission products gotta bond with it, unbreakable

So how can Cesium and Iodine hurt
Your thyroid? They’re locked in salt binders
Fissioning and circulating in a purifier
And spinning a turbine, ask Alvin Weinberg

Now the half-life of the waste is like
Three centuries, and we can pay that price
Like the preservation of an ancient relic, we can achieve it
And use isotopes for cancer treatment

No reason to fear radiation at all
When elements dissolve in molten salt
It can leak and a meltdown won’t result
It just solidifies and the whole thing halts

This warming rock
Is gonna still get hot
Until we clean our power
Sources up

Get it from the wind
Offshore and the sun
And the molten salt
With Thorium

Liquid Sodium
Makin’ new fuel out of former junk
A traveling wave comes
Molten salt with Thorium

No meltdowns anymore
‘Cause a plug drains out
When you warm it up
Fourth generation
Molten salt with Thorium

Come on, sing along, is it hard
To build a modular reactor in a shipyard?
And bring it on a truck to deliver the spark
And tell the haters to sit in the dark

‘Cause it’s way way way way safer than climate change
Don’t lose sight of the plot of the play
It’s all about decarbonization all day
And energy poverty is not gonna wait

So no pressure, no more than a garden hose
Temperature high, so the wattage flows
Price low, hydrocarbons, synthesize those
Desalinize, access to water grows

Watch coal plants fall like dominoes
This tech is so close, y’all, so vamanos
Close all emissions that are poisonous
And let economists calculate avoided deaths

And let everyone, Nigerian to American
Celebrate the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment
Oak Ridge Lab, Tennessee
Which invented cheap, safe, unlimited energy

Liquid Sodium
Makin’ new fuel out of former junk
A traveling wave comes
Molten salt with Thorium

No meltdowns anymore
‘Cause a plug drains out
When you warm it up
Fourth generation
Molten salt with Thorium

The oil barons will never stand for that.

Cool it with the antisemitism.

Infrastructure in the US is shit and EU is too bogged down with anti-nuclear fud. Now with "AI" datacenters heavily increasing the power density, big tech is probably going to start investing small scale reactors to hedge against power supply and environmental issues.

Or we just burn fresh venezuelan oil in some middle-american bumpkin's backyard.

Thorium's a fucking meme. Thorium's not really much better than uranium in terms of safety or the anti nuclear dog whistle that's proliferation resistance. Thorium breeders have yet to breed more fuel than they consume.

Molten salt can work without thorium
>former junk
Fast reactor economics might not work out cause neutrons fuck shit up
>liquid sodium
Huge fire hazard. Can't even fight the fire with water
>on site reprocessing
I didn't read the whole post so I don't know if you said it, but NRC won't approve it
>meltdowns
Might not be the only way the reactor could fail. There's another way to avoid meltdowns: the nuclear piston engine. Compress uranium hexafluoride in a HUGE PISTON so it goes critical and EXPLODES out. It can't meltdown because if UF6 leaks it disperses and can't go critical
