You can't believe in climate change if you don't believe in nuclear energy

Molten salt thorium reactors weren't researched much, because they didn't produce enough by-products for making bombs? I also saw something a while ago about high-temperature reactors that "closed the nuclear cycle." Spent fuel from ordinary reactors could be fed in, and the higher energy neutron flux would make it fissionable again. Something like that. And that was ignored also. Priorities are so wrong, these days.
Great meme. The post here has some ideas about getting past the algorithm based image censoring,

I have a good friend who's a nuclear engineer that told me the problem with thorium salt reactors are the regulations around it. Because there hasn't been a lot of testing and that the use of thorium reactor is still theoretical no one has the money or time to do it given the regulatory environment
That is a very interesting post. It's funny that you mention it, 2 days ago I was on Facebook and some kind of global warming Facebook message popped up. So I immediately clicked hide don't show me any more ads like this. Since I've done that my Facebook feed barely updates at all. I feel like the algorithm stonewalled me the minute I disagree with global warming.
I'm a nuke. The real problem with thoriuom is momentum and the waste stream. We are already built on a uranium fuel cycle and it is massively expensive to change.
Plus the crazy dose rates from the waste means that all the waste has to be remote handled behind insane shielding. It's like comparing a long burning candle (uranium waste stream) to a shorter burning but flaming tree (thorium waste stream). I know that the half-life of the hottest isotope (Tl-208) is only 3 minutes but most people forget that there are always new ones on the way thanks to the u-233 decay. It's similar to Sr90. We have a saying when it comes to calibration sources that we buy the Sr90 but get the Y90 for free. It essentially doubles the activity.
I support thorium research but we can do the same exact thing with u-238 and Pu-239. And yes, thorium products (u-233) can be used to make weapons. That argument is bunk right off the bat.
Great depth here, thanks man
We have the smartest pedes
It's the reason for so many taxes and schemes. Can't have people starting to disbelieve, right?
There's even some evidence that temperature data is being altered or ignored. No idea who's "behind it all" but Facebook's already being used to push other culture war propaganda. Wouldn't surprise me if there was a connection.
