thorium is literally a type of nuclear power, it's so funny to say "no I do NOT support nuclear power, instead we should use... nuclear power" but even uranium reactors are very safe, everyone thinks of chernobyl but that was SEVENTY YEARS AGO that is ludicrous to be using that as your basis, long island was also a 70 year old reactor. it's practically impossible for modern powerplants to meltdown. also they solve the problem of losing jobs when elliminating fossil fuels, a government program to gelp transfer emplyees would be great

fun fact, nuclear energy has the lowest deaths per kilowatt hour of ALL ENERGY SOURCES including solar and wind (I guess heights is the cause?)

nuclear waste storage isn't an issue either, the entire middle of australia is a desert, just dig a few km down, and secure containment and we will be fine

thorium is better though, I won't argue with that, just make the question better
