Hey, if YOU want to ignore the fact that the left has made the world scared to death of nuclear power plants, I can't!
Are you ignorant of the fact that NY's Indian Point nuclear plant used thorium, and it was shut down five years ago because of the pressure coming from Democrat activists?

No..
Thorium Use: This is true for Unit 1, but not the whole plant. When Indian Point opened in 1962, its first reactor (Unit 1) was designed as the world's first commercial thorium-fueled reactor. However, this fuel mixture proved expensive (and didn't breed plutonium for nuclear weapons), and the reactor was switched to standard uranium in 1965. The two primary reactors that operated until shutdown (Units 2 and 3) used conventional uranium fuel

Or that the NY Shoreham nuclear plant was shut down for the same reason back in 1989?

Would YOU be willing to invest the billions of dollars it takes to build another nuke plant with that much opposition?

Keywords:  Small, Modular... Other notes about molten salt..  It is like lead at atmpspheric pressure.  Failure you dump it into a tub and it loses it's critical mass.
Do you think The Industrialists weren;t stupid in the past?   Trumpdustry is a phooking mess..  Fairy Tale Space AI Data centers..  a million of them zipping around not crashing into each other and turning low earth orbit intto sandpaper.

So stick to the subject at hand, fool!  Your idiot party's ONLY interest is in the stupidity of forcing electric cars on the American public, and thinks we can fuel them with more windmills and solar power!

Are you even aware of the inefficiency of windmills and solar panels compared to fossil fuels?
Here, dopey.  Educate yourself:

Efficiency of Wind and Solar Energy Compared to Fossil Fuels
Capacity Factors
The efficiency of energy sources can be measured by their capacity factors, which indicate how often they produce electricity at their maximum output. Here’s a comparison:
Energy Source Capacity Factor (%)
Wind Turbines 35 - 50
Solar Panels 15 - 25
Fossil Fuel Plants Over 80

Capturing Solar Heat is 70% efficient..  Your refrigerator in your RV may be run off propane as a heat source.  Dude.. You said I was uneducated. **** off.  Your knowledge is tainted by conservative batshyt crazy poop..

The tech is there.. The capitalists won;;t let it come to fruition.  The Greeks knew the Earth was round.  The Vatican made it flat again.
