Thorium energy explained - Copenhagen Atomics

[@thewiseperson8748]

The molten salt reactor was tried in the 1950's and then abandoned because of technical problems. There is presently a small molten-salt test reactors being trialled in China.

I see nuclear and hydrogen working hand in hand in the future to provide for our ever growing energy needs. Love it! Frankly the problem facing these plentiful energy sources is not the proliferation or advancement of the technology, it is the political backlash of the angry enviro-extremists who DO NOT WANT humans to prosper under plentiful clean energy, they only want to LIMIT human expansion by forcing cumbersome 'clean' technologies on advanced and developing nations. oof.

Instead of hydrogen, there is a company called AMBRI that makes liquid metal batteries that can store energy long term efficiently. Electric vehicles could be the most used source of transportation. Hydrogen is highly combustible.

Cant wait to get almost free green energy, GO CPH ATOMICS!

[@leonardigweokolo2813]

How possible is this? $100 for energy consumption for an entire lifetime. Wow!!!

[@CopenhagenAtomics]

Becuase Thorium is very abundant and cheap (and currently a waste product from most mining operations, which they need to spend money on disposing) and the fact that you can utilise basically 100% of the energy

@@CopenhagenAtomics I can wait for you guys to run this at scale. GreatWork...Thank you

It's hard to convince some green groups.

Because they are paid by Big Carbon to promote nonviable wind/solar.
