Things that don’t exist yet aren’t a solution for problems we have now.

It’s not like we could now just build a thorium reactor that makes economic sense without decades of serious prototyping. And by that time we might have found that there are more pbolems with it than we thought.

I mean, China is doing it right now, and we’ll have answers in a lot less than decades.

If the TMSR-LF1 proves successful, China plans to build a reactor with a capacity of 373 MWt by 2030.

Not sure which unit MWt is. Anyway, let’s see how far they are in 7 years.

Strange source aside I’ve been hearing were on the edge of a breakthrough for thorium reactors and cold fusion for 40 years now.

If China had it working already then we would have heard it a lot louder from them.

  • Use NSFW marking accordingly

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

  • Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
  • Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
