thorium doesn't replace oil, it just offers a respectably cheaper and safer grid power source, replacing natural gas and coal and traditional nuclear

oil is still necessary for cars, but ELECTRIC CARS will be knocking on oil's door, not throium power. Granted, cheaper grid power makes electric vehicles more attractive to the average consumer

>Thorium will change the world just like the Tank changed warfare or the Plane changes travel
eeeh, thorium will enable a few things, but it's probably not the engine of change you think it is

can we all agree to be a little more reserved and realistic? overall?
