Today, we are excessively burning fossil fuels and are killing our children with toxins from coal-fired power plants and other airborne pollutants.
There is a solution that can completely end America's reliance on Fossil Fuels within a few decades and that is Thorium. Thorium 232 is an extremely common metal, almost as lead and the United States has enough thorium to power our energy needs for almost 1,000 years.
Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors have many, many benefits; The first benefit is that they are meltdown proof, the second benefit is that LFTR reactors produce 99% less waste than today's reactors and the waste products are mostly Plutonium-238 and Molybdenum-99, which can power space craft and be used in medical research. If there is such a solution, why are not implementing it
