Newer thorium based fuels shit allllllll over uranium based fuels, and will even see great benefit in molten salt reactors.

Except the Eco-Terrorists will never allow it. Watch to Many Godzilla movies they have. I'm sure HBO's Chrynobel did nothing to help.

The eco authoritarians can eat a dick. Nuclear is the only future we currently have. Thorium powered container ships would nearly end global warming by themselves. This is something the navy has been looking into for years but with little support. Imagine a fighting force that never has to port for fuel and water.
