Oh no, there’s a futurology thread jerking themselves about how the West figured it out in the 60s and China stole the tech. Saying they’re being reckless and also hiding pollution from it. Typical every accusation is an admission racism from

Oh look, a bad take from a programming.dev poster

Liquid Thorium Salt Small Modular Reactors address a lot of concerns.

By the name, they are smaller and modular which allows for a scalable solution to building which will address time and cost of construction. Thorium is not dangerously radioactive until it is being turned into fissile material inside the reactor and then the waste can be run inside it under specific ‘recipes’ to fully consume it which addresses another big issue.

Unfortunately it does create some problems surrounding proliferation, but at this point we’re all dead anyways, so I’m inclined to say fuck it, who cares. Proliferation concerns themselves seem like advanced powers pulling the ladder up and saying they get to be kings of the world and everyone else must be their subjects aside from the handful of MAD capable states.

They could go to any bank and leverage that asset for a loan for more than everyone who posts on this platform will make in their lifetimes no problem. That is a nonsense talking point

Same 😭
