Well, time to find out if the law is still in action.
But how?

I hope China gets there soon. Still, I feel they would benefit from our own guys going over there to help them out.

Flibe energy is there, and has got enough capital to get going already. The rest is details, unless they use legislation to screw them.

LFTR is more efficient, extracting significantly more energy from abundant, inexpensive thorium than solid-fuelled reactors can from more scarce and costly uranium. Conventional reactors consume less than one percent of their solid uranium fuel, leaving the rest of the fuel as waste. LFTR consumes 99% of its liquid thorium derived fuel, and the remaining one percent is even useful for space exploration.

Why the hell don't we use thorium reactors yet?
