Thorium's capacity as nuclear fuel was discovered during WW II, but ignored because it was unsuitable for making bombs. A liquid-fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR) is the optimal approach for harvesting energy from Thorium, and has the potential to solve today's energy/climate crisis. This 16 minute video summarizes 197 minutes worth of Google Tech Talks on the subject of Thorium &amp; LFTR.<br /> <br /> Mahalo to <a href="http://www.techhui.com/profile/StuartWoodward">Stuart Woodward</a> for the link.
