Hurrah, go Jim!

I'd say let them try...expanding knowledge in nuclear science is a good thing.

Google 'Dual Fluid Reactor' for another promising idea. Quite similar to the MSRE.

Do you have resources to back your claims, I am interested in learning more about thorium but it seems that the commentary is overwhelmingly positive? I would like to see what the other side has to offer.

[@BeCurieUs]

Well said, I liked the part where you didn't offer any reasons or logic.

[@liutasx]

Why?

Get bill gates off the traveling wave reactor into thorium molten salt reactor

All bark and no bite. There is actually no real content to your comments. Why waste time commenting at all. Were there people like you arguing that microwave ovens were just a fantasy? You say there is no investment but there seems to be in China, India and elsewhere. I can't help but think you are just an empty bobblehead with some sort of agenda. I should have known better than to engage someone who just talks shit but refuses to back anything up.

Exactly! His expertise in a real world must be suitable for apprentice boiler installer or plumber at best.
