Notes from Listening Post:

Thorium

The boys talk about Thorium power, but before they get into that, they try "Sour Me," a peach sherbet, sour beer from DuClaw.

A few years ago, everybody was all excited about Thorium energy. It's abundant, safe, you can't make bombs out of it. So what's the problem? Why aren't we investing in Thorium power?

The boys discuss nuclear energy in general, Thorium power, and why this is a better path than solar or "renewable" energies.
