Thorium doesn't create weapons grade secondaries, so the Pentagon, DoD

end-use customers would not have to cost at most 10% of what we're
currently paying.

To get energy out of Thorium, you have to bombard it with neutrons to
make it into fissionable Uranium-233. It may be harder to make a bomb
out of that than from Uranium-235 or Plutonium-239, and so Thorium
reactors wouldn't be subsidized by strategic defense, but I see no
reason to imagine a conspiracy.

The Pentagon and the Department of Defense are good things, because
they protect Americans from ending up like the poor people in North
Korea.

Spoken like a true global inflation redneck oligarch that’s public
funded and set for life.

When was the last time our government agencies didn’t obfuscate or lie
to us?

When was the last time our government didn’t help start or sustain a
proxy war?

Thorium only needs to be started with a neutron kicker that can be
safely secured or turned off once that Th232 takes off on its own,
whereas from that point on Th232 takes care of itself as long as
there’s a sufficient volume of hot Th232 to work with. That’s also
called a failsafe reactor.
