Thorium & Clean Energy: Can Is Provide Sustainable Clean Energy?

Posted: 11 Nov 2011 06:24 PM PST

We've been relying on the fossil fuels for a long time now and it seems that most of the world's problem - economical & health-related seems to be a direct or indirect consequence of our over-dependence on them. We've had discussions on this forum about possible uses of Geo-thermal energy and now there's a video that's making rounds: Motherboard TV: The Thorium Dream | Motherboard which talks about how Thorium can power world's power. Well, the current technology can allow us to create power from Thorium without creating pollution and radio-active wastes. I think everyone knows this.

I'm wondering about the technical difficulties which are hindering the adoption of Thorium for production of energy. Can anyone shed some light?
