Subscribe for analysis that goes beyond the noise. One ton of thorium can produce as much energy as 200 tons of uranium, or 3.5 million tons of coal, and the thorium deposits that have already been ...

For the past several months, a friend of mine has been telling me about the potentially game-changing implications of an obscure (at least to me) metal named Thorium after the Norse god of thunder, ...

Dear EarthTalk: Thorium is a naturally occurring element that is supposedly more available, more efficient and safer to use than uranium for generating nuclear energy. Is this true and, if so, why ...

Nuclear technologist Kirk Sorensen has spent much of his career researching the potential of thorium fission reactors. Sorensen has recently founded a company, Flibe energy, which is dedicated to ...

China has officially announced it will launch a program to develop a thorium-fueled molten-salt nuclear reactor, taking a crucial step towards shifting to nuclear power as a primary energy source. The ...

In a world increasingly aware of and affected by global warming, the news that 2010 was a record year for greenhouse gases levels was something of a blow. With the world's population due to hit nine ...

There is a “fact sheet” about thorium issued by the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (IEER) and Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR) called “Thorium Fuel: No Panacea for Nuclear ...

This latest news release from the LaRouchepac.com site is a news story from the Hong Kong newspaper Wen Wei Po dealing with advanced science issues in China. China launching Thorium-Fueled Nuclear ...

Rick's interview with Kirk Sorensen about a nuclear fuel that is relatively clean and safe -- a material called thorium-- was replayed on our August 4/7 program. When we first aired it, we had a ...

97% of world market supplies of rare earth elements (REEs) come from China and look to become insecure in regard to meeting "green" energy targets, since exports of REEs are scheduled to be retained ...

Motherboard's Alex Pasternack dug into the hard support for a particular kind of nuclear power using the element thorium. Thorium reactors, conceptually, are a brilliant solution to our energy dilemma ...
