Oddly, the thorium power crowd is having the same issues that we in the oil and coal industries are; regulation from people that have no idea about each business.

Thanks for the threads - I read a couple of 'em and some very interesting stuff. We'll always have the nay sayers but if we can improve on the way we generate power and have a less toxic by product then we should attempt to perfect this technology.
