sure, my point was to shut up those who say thorium is unsustainable just because it is not renewable. Similar thing applies to uranium and seawater extraction (however there are more technical issues with actually extracting it). Bottom line is, nuclear power using breeder reactors is at least in theory MORE sustainable than renewables. We are simply not going to run out of the stuff.

Thoriumfags!
Consider chipping in for the making of a new and vastly improved Thorium Remix 2012 documentary project, through Kickstarter online crowdfunding service.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gordonmcdowell/thorium-remix-2012-feature-film-to-propagate-hard

Pledge $10 or more - receive free DVD / Blu-ray of the documentary once the project is completed, and name in credits!

As you may have already noticed, LFTR now has its own separate Wikipedia article. Feel free to add content or polish it, as well as check the Molten salt reactor article from which a lot of content has been moved there for more information that may better be moved into specific LFTR article.

Yes. While thorium is more spread out, there is 4x more of it, its a byproduct of rare earths mining, and contrary to uranium, ALL thorium can be used in LFTR, whereas only 0.6% of uranium is usable isotope (which requires huge enrichment plants to separate).

Yeah, we need to write letters and emails to politicians. Lets hope they have a bit of reason left and not all are brainwashed by antinuclear propaganda. I have already done it.

Also, bumping with relevant material:
