Why Thorium is About To Power Everything
Thorium could revolutionize energy forever. Unlike uranium, it’s ultra-abundant, meltdown-proof, and produces far less waste. Just 11 basketball-sized spheres could power a city like Austin for over two years. That’s energy density on a whole new level. It’s safer, cleaner, and it’s been hiding in plain sight. But if it’s so great, why isn’t the world using it already? In this video, we dive deep into thorium’s promise, the science behind it, and the real reasons it’s been sidelined for decades. From its mind-blowing energy density to near-zero meltdown risk, let’s explore whether thorium truly is the future of nuclear power.
