This question was asked in the commons (UK) today.

"Mr Sanders: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change whether he has made an assessment of the use in China, Russia and India of thorium reactors to provide a source of low-carbon energy; and whether he has any plans for the use of such reactors in the UK. [87953]

Charles Hendry: DECC has not undertaken formal assessments of any development projects for thorium fuelled nuclear reactors in China, India or Russia, although we are aware of these countries' intentions to develop such technologies.

Nonetheless, the Department is aware of the potential of thorium reactor designs and is in the process of assessing claims over its suitability as an alternative to uranium based reactors in the longer term."

Longer term? Cant they hurry this stuff up?

moneys tight, and most people could care less anyway

We should all just accept the fact that until all the baby boomers die, we'll never get anywhere with climate change.

Nope. UK signed up to that French led Euro uranium plant consortium a long time ago. Wouldn't matter if we found a way of harnessing Zero Point energy tomorrow, we'd be stuck with nuclear power for a very long time.

>most people could care
The amount people care is always greater than or equal to 0.
care >/= 0
If you "could care less" that must mean that you care a little bit.
care > 0
The phrase you are looking for is "couldn't care less", the amount they care is 0 so they couldn't care less
care = 0

Some people are faggots like that. There's just no curing them of their speech retardedness.

The thought of a good chunk of the population going away is a nice thought to me. I'll live long enough to benefit from it.

I forgot that /sci/ was full of climatefags.

Charles Hendry is a pederast. Look it up. He was attacked with a champagne bottle by his own researcher.
