Goal For The Green

If you recall , back in early February, I wrote “Let’s Take A Closer Look at Element #90”.  It was to let you know about this much cleaner, safer,  and more abundant alternative source of nuclear energy.

To keep you up to date on the most current information on this topic, I invite you to go to a very active Energy From Thorium Discussion Forum.

Once you are inside the forum, there are many threads to update you on the  progress of this energy source.  If you click on Thorium in the news, it will take you to a page where my article is listed “Let’s Take A Closer Look at Element #90”.

There is a very active thread that explains in detail the inner workings of Thorium reactors, and why they are safer, than what we have used in the past.  Please, also take a look at “Is This The Dawning of The Age Of Thorium” by Jack Lifton.  He takes a good look at Thorium based nuclear power, along with it’s implications for nonproliferation and investment opportunities.

I could spend hours in this forum, but you will want to also check out President Obama’s, “Yes We Can”  Energy Plan and where we are headed in this country by 2025 or before.  Let’s hope for before.

Energy from Thorium is another detailed source of information on the topic.

Currently, sandy beaches of Thorium stretch for miles along India’s coastline.  They also have an active Thorium Energy program in place.  It is a positive step in the right direction.

I hope you take full advantage of these sources of information I’ve listed here, to get an up close and better understanding of this great and abundant energy source.

There is a quote I’d like to share, that for me, puts Thorium Energy into perspective.

“If you’re looking for an always-on, carbon-free, sustainable source of energy, for which the reserves won’t run dry for more than a few centuries, there’s really only one choice, – Thorium.”

Here’s to working toward a better tomorrow.  Until next time!

Update:

Special thanks to Robert Hargraves, who sent this special graphic tutorial, The Aim High presentation. There are several formats to chose from including a detailed video , explaining Thorium Energy and Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors  (LFTR).  Below the links, is a detailed written  summary.
