Scifags,

I'm thinking about drafting up an operation for anonymous to bring down oil companies to shatter it's hegemonic paradigm by raising awareness of thorium and traveling wave reactors. Yeah we need better batteries, but oil companies are exploiting humanity and this planet.

What should be the name of the operation, faggots?

Exposing corrupt and unethical practices of oil companies isn't going to bring them down. People will keep buying oil and oil companies will continue to profit. Its like trying to bring down drug dealers with media campaigns; it just doesn't work. What you need to do s convince people to stop consuming so much oil; sadly I'm not sure how that could be done.

Thorium is more abundant on the Earth than Uranium, but its not in concentrated deposits. Its spread out really thin so collecting large quantities of it would require enormous strip mining and processing operations.

The US would NOT need to mine for thorium because it's already conveniently stored in MAJOR quantities since the Manhattan Project. Watch the short youtube video someone posted.
