Reply #5: Well you can sell a solar panel to anybody, anywhere.......

You can sell solar panels to the Taliban with absolute clear conscience.

While I wonder at the wisdom of betting our future on the ability of welders to produce multiple vessels that can hold high-temperature, high-pressure helium. Of course Thorium reactors will still produce plutonium if you introduce Uranium 238 to them.

I would like to see some demonstration projects using molten salt reactors to consume plutonium and reduce bomb material inventories before I trust the whole nuclear industry. The whole proccess of repeatedly proccessing nuclear fuels (rods, pellets, pebbles) generates unneccesary waste and danger. It sure makes money though.
