what's stopping someone with a lot of capital from building a thorium reactor?
Regulation? Lack of fuel because there isn't an established demand for it?
Made me a little sick to vote for Stein because of her stupid nuclear positions, but I picked her over Aleppo man in a 50/50 toss up where I didn't agree with either on a lot of issues

probably better to do some sort of deadlift variant
rack pull, halting dead.
Zachary Thompson
Very stupid. If you're 3 weeks out you shouldn't be trying to increase your lifts. Time for that is over. You should be peaking
Isaac Russell
Regulation, sounds like. There's an older startup called ThorCon that has a plan to get a modular thorium reactor on the market very quickly, but they've been stuck trying to find a host country that will let them build a prototype for years.
It's frustrating from my perspective. Engineering challenges are actually a bit less (more in some aspects, but over all less), safety is much much better, proliferation risk is orders of magnitude less, thorium abundance is retarded.
eh, >aleppo man's climate policy wasn't much better.

Why Nuclear over Solar
Forgive if stupid, am Arts
Nathan Walker
Solar is a stupid meme that requires rare metals from China.
Daniel Reed
more energy dense. Would be like a AAA battery powering your house
Jace Anderson
is there a downside to them, other than being scary nuclear?
I've been hearing the thorium meme for a while and it sounds like there's probably a glaring aspect that its proponents leave out, or someone would be running with it
Sebastian Phillips
Peaking?
I'm weak af lad and can probably add another 20 lbs
