The thorium story is well-known. Enthusiasts are convinced it could be the transforming technology needed to drive the industrial revolutions of Asia - and to avoid an almighty energy crunch as an extra two billion people climb the ladder to western lifestyles. At the least, they say, it could...

If aliens did visit us, I'd be embarrassed to tell them we still dig up fossil fuels from the ground as a source of energy.— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) August 22, 2012

Last year, China's Academy of Sciences announced it was building a thorium reactor. But it looks like the higher ups are looking to expedite this project. In fact, Zemin's son recently landed a cool $350 million in additional funding for his program.

Staunch environmentalist, Salim Zwein informs us on Thorium; a cheap, efficient, clean and abundant energy source with the capacity to replace Uranium as a nuclear fuel, and turn the nuclear industry into a safe, environmental alternative.

After Fukushima, is nuclear energy still the best way to fight climate change? James Hansen, NASA’s top climate scientist, is one of the most impassioned and trusted voices on global warming. People listen closely to what he says about how drastically the climate is changing. But when Hansen...

The Chinese are running away with thorium energy, sharpening a global race for the prize of clean, cheap, and safe nuclear power. Princeling Jiang Mianheng, son of former leader Jiang Zemin, is spearheading a project for China's National Academy of Sciences with a start-up budget of $350m. He...

Around fifty years ago, the U.S. chose to develop uranium-based nuclear energy instead of thorium-based energy. Both energy sources provided a ton of power — though theoretically thorium could provide a lot more. What made the difference, however, were the byproducts. Uranium byproducts could be...
