Thorium: A Modern Energy Source Explained

Summary

Nuclear energy is clean but dangerous, but with the use of Thorium , maybe nuclear can drop the dangerous tag and just be clean.

Thorium is a much more highly concentrated ore than uranium, meaning it takes less work to extract the same amount of energy generating potential during the mining process.

There is three times more thorium in the Earth 's crust than uranium.

The race between uranium and thorium may already be over as the startup costs may cancel out any of the long term benefits of what might be a better, safer fuel.

Thorium isn't perfect, it's still radioactive and still produces waste.

The biggest threat to thorium nuclear energy is the fact that there hasn't been much experience with it.
