Researchers discover conventional reactors burn their own waste when thorium is added

2. I'm giving this a rec without knowing much about this new mixing of fuels.

I know one thing, if population isn't going to stabilize for a number of years, and more people are wanting to live modern lifestyles (and who wouldn't since part of that means being healthy), then we've got to keep our minds open to all the possible energy conversion sources.

I still don't think we need to spend the money on this monumentally difficult nuclear scheme. The renewable ones seem to be cheaper to build. But I don't know what the lifetime of the fuel is for the Thorium reactors. It could be that the huge cooling facilities and other ancillary parts of these reactors are mortgaged down by the long term energy "production".

I don't know...
