Energy is crucial for us and our future. What sources of energy do we have?
Stars are the initiators of energy and precursors of life but they also stored caches of energy for us to use and evolve as intelligent beings.
Fusion of light elements seem to be the stuff reserved for the mighty Stars but here on Earth fission seem to be what the Stars cached for us to get and use.
As many others, I’ve been oblivious of the fact that there is a technology which was tried 50 years ago when the U235 reactors were developed and which should have been our to use by now.
Yet, it seem that our ignorance and political interests focused only on the moment, lead us on the wrong path 50 years ago by building the current water based reactors which are plagued by many issues.
Still, even in this cases nuclear is still the best way to go about our energy needs of the future when we account for all issues we find with all types of energy we now use.
I strongly think we have the duty to maximize the efficiency of all aspects our our lives and minimize the amount of energy we use for each activity we do, however we will need to do more activities in the future, a lot more and all of us must have access to the same abilities in order to step into the future which awaits us out there.
Thorium breeder (LFTR) reactors were simply caned years ago, I think it is time we start building them.
I’m a strong advocate for this technology. To see why, please visit the http://energyfromthorium.com web site or watch the presentation bellow.
Of course, I’m not advocating for blindly supporting the technology, please learn about it and support when you are ready to do so…
