If something important is slow and expensive, we should fix it, and not ban or oppose it

U.S. Department of Energy's Waste Isolation Pilot Plant - Home Page WIPP

Consider the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Southeast New Mexico. They have been licensed by the EPA since 1999 and have been disposing of transuranic (plutonium) waste ever since. You simply need good geology to remove the risk permanently from the biosphere.

Try discussing any limitations or problems with thorium. Many of those proponents come off to me as being flat out fanatical.

I have long suffered pervasive trolling from the anti-nuclear crowd. That comes with speaking truth to power imo
