Thorium is a radioactive metal that occurs naturally in soil, water, and rocks. It's also used in nuclear reactors, welding rods, and ceramic glazes.
It's three to four times more abundant than uranium

More than 200 thorium-rich veins in the Beaverhead Mountains form the Lemhi Pass district, Idaho and Montana. This district is thought to contain the largest concentration of thorium resources in the United States and is the site of renewed thorium exploration activity.
Why China Is Building a Thorium Molten-Salt Reactor China’s demo reactor could breed nuclear fuel from rare earth waste
Endless thorium supply in China can help make unlimited nuclear power: Survey
Which is worse for the world: Current China, with shitloads of coal power plants, or future China, with shitloads of nuclear power plants?
Pick your poison. CCP China is bad for humanity, whichever way you slice that cake.
Since Thorium won't go boom Let's use coal to make steel, for now.
