DENIAL, BETRAYAL & STUPIDITY

Dear Readers:




We will not discuss thorium, thorium-powered safe nuclear reactors, the increasing value of THORIUM ENERGY, INC.'s resources and reserves of thorium and the Rare Earth Elements in the rich veins of its properties in the Lemhi Pass District. We won't discuss thorium as a quality investment in a high-utility (a pun!), appreciating commodity. We will not talk about the alternative uses of thorium in radiation shielding, high-tech components, testing devices and the like.

We will not discuss the growing international acceptance of the Thorium Alternative. We will not talk about India, Canada, China, Korea and the Members of the European Union. We will not even touch upon our President's negotiations with India (about Uranium) or Iran (also about Uranium) No. We will limit ourselves to a discussion of "U.S. Energy Proposals" being discussed at present. Hence, ladies and gentlemen, I present, for your amusement {cue drumroll}.....


A SYNOPSIS OF U.S. ENERGY "PROPOSALS" BEING DISCUSSED AT PRESENT



  1. The self-proclaimed inventor of the Internet and self-appointed environmental conscience of the United States, non-candidate (so far) Al Gore has issued a noble challenge to the American people to develop a source of sustainable energy within the next ten years, preferably using wind or solar power. Mr. Gore even went so far as to say (I'm taking a bit of editorial license here and paraphrasing), "Heck. The wind and the sun are always going to be around. We're not going to run out of either of them!" His goal is to eliminate all US dependence on fossil fuels by 2018. In my opinion, he should also offer a big reward to the person or group of persons who accomplish this great feat as a further incentive to getting some push behind this idea. Mr. Gore always amazes me -- the best thing by far, though, is that I no longer feel compelled to have my daughters go to "Ivy League" universities. Al Gore has shown me the end product of an Ivy League education, and, while I don't believe that he will make much headway with his "Energy Challenge", I think he would do a great deal better politically if he would confine himself to other subjects, like climatic change, the benefits of recycling, and getting the most out of compost.LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
  2. President Bush, ever resourceful, and a card-carrying member of the Toastmaster's Club, is eagerly lobbying to lift the bans on offshore oil drilling off of the coast of this country. He already has his lucky pen out -- perhaps he wants to drill the first hole himself. Residents of California, Florida and some other "dangerously" coastal states are understandably upset. While it might be true that if we initiated an aggressive program of offshore drilling we could well be "swimming in oil", (to paraphrase Mr. Bush, who pronounces it "awl" because of his Connecticut roots)...the point of contention here might be that the American People would prefer to be swimming in water. Fool me once...LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
  3. Presidential hopeful John McCain, war hero, cancer survivor and occasional panderer to the Christian Right (but only as necessary) has a clear goal -- he wants 34 nuclear reactors built, up and running within the next twenty years. He is long on ambition and gritty determination, but a bit short on the "how" part of his own proposal.

In the meantime, the scientific community, the environmentalist community and the general public are gravitating toward thorium. Thankfully, so is the US Legislature, who have gotten all of the benefit which they could derive from excusing the tremendous rise in the price of oil and gasoline, and will be relieved of that burden during the next presidency. We should all be looking forward to January, 2009, and to the end of a very powerfully entrenched oiligopoly's absolute and unchecked power.

Thorium (which I promised that I wouldn't mention) is not pie-in-the sky. It is simply the best possibility for ending our enslavement to fossil fuels and to the companies that are heavily invested in interests that are contrary to the safety, prosperity and well-being of the American people. All of this other rhetoric is either denial (a psychological problem), betrayal (a treasonous propensity), or stupidity (a prerequisite for blissful happiness when times are quite difficult).

Faithfully,

--THORIUM ENERGY, INC.
