Will the development of thorium compete for scarce funding for the development of new energy technologies like aneutronic fusion? Is there enough financial support for both technologies?
Economically speaking thorium can’t compete with any of the lower cost fusion alternatives such as FF or Polywell. The only reason to pursue it as a power source after a successful demonstration of net power from fusion would be the oligarchs trying to impede commercial implementation of fusion.
