This pro-Thorium website of dubious credibility says a 1 GW Thorium plant would cost $250m to construct.

There's a lot to talk about unfortunately. Layman understanding may vary. It's long :words:, so you can add parts you like to the OP if you want.

Thanks for this post! I was wondering, is India also serious about Thorium? They have the only thorium power plant that I know of.

My wife is from Arizona, and when I visited there recently I was anecdotally asking people if they knew anyone who used solar energy. Nobody did, it seemed.

As of about 2000, when my parents were buying a home in Arizona, the cost to put solar up on the roof was ridiculous. You were better off just throwing that money into a nice swimming pool. I can't imagine it has changed much under the brilliant Republican leadership that state is known for.

you can't "imagine" the price of solar has gone down in the last 14 years? wtf are you posting in an energy generation thread for if you are that massively clueless about the topic?

Yeah that's totally what I said and wasn't addressing state subsidies. :rolleyes:
