Lots of chatter about Thorium lately as a replacement to uranium for nuclear fuel. China is planning on building a Thorium reactor for energy to be live in 2030. Could this be our future for bringing down the costs of energy? Please - my $800/mo is untenable long term. - The Great Awakening

It has no real advantages. It must be bred into U-233 in order for it to work. Raw thorium won't run a reactor. And the trace contaminants of U-232 make it hazardous to handle. Down the road, it can be useful as a kind of "hamburger helper" to extend our fissionable resources.
