Thorium reactors already working in China do not produce this catastrophic consequences as in Fukushima (apart from the fact that Fukushima reactors were built in the area of problematic seismic fault lines which in addition were being liable to tsunamis). Total f**k up in engineering terms .. not sure what they were thinking about : /. This would not happen with thorium reactors. End of.
I am only going by what has been reported in the Nature and the latest clip I have posted on this. The whole point being that we simply cannot wholly rely on the current green solutions like wind and solar power (and storage) in its current iteration. Thermodynamic EROI and all that. Still needs an input from fossil fuels. That is my understanding. We've had a lot of discussions on this on TLN in the past and Rhis took a lead on this, RIP.
