THORIUM TURNS GREEN




Dear Readers:
Not literally. Figuratively.

Thorium, in its frequently occuring oxide state, is a dusty white to gray color. And while many metal pit pundits are forecasting that thorium will ultimately become as valuable as gold, or that it is "greening" in terms of its increasing value in dollars per ounce, those are not applicable here either.

No, what I am speaking about is a movement within the ranks of the environmentalists, a lobbying group of increasing financial power and influence, toward thorium as the environmentally-preferred choice over virtually every other fuel source. This is very good for Thorium Energy, Inc. because it lends additional credibility to what we have been saying for quite some time now...that thorium is cleaner than coal or any other combustible fuel source.

The nearest competitor, the ethanol contingent (Alcholics Unanimous), is quite clean when burned in its purest form as a fuel, but it is impractical in terms of its efficinecy and availability. If we eliminate ethanol as a competitor, than thorium, by default, is the cleanest and greenest alternative without peer.

Many posts ago, I wrote that burning coal produces more particulate (e.g., dangerously breathable) thorium than a thorium-powered reactor. It appears that the Green Lobby is arriving at the same conclusion.

The evidence of this shift is not only in the appearance of an increasing number of articles written by green bloggers and environmentalists in praise of thorium, but also in the sheer percentage of posts and articles (in all media) in which thorium is referenced favorably. In just these past three months, the percentage of these posts and articles which mention thorium in a favorable context has approximately doubled! In only three months!

While these numbers are estimates, they are indeed encouraging.

Our rich veins of Thorium in the Lemhi Pass District continue to accrue value...not unlike a fine wine, a Picasso original or a violin.

THORIUM - THE WINNER BY DEFAULT.


Dear Readers:
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Thorium is the only sensible choice for safe, timely, energy self-sufficiency.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
It is Thorium, or it is unfathomable failure. It is Thorium Energy, or no energy.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
As the United States economy slips into a profound and predictible recession, largely driven by the "reconstruction effort" in Iraq; the continued pursuit of terrorists straddling the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan; the failure of financial institutions to remain solvent due to irresponsible extensions of credit, poor investment decisions and poor management; the decline of the U.S. Dollar against the Euro, our enormous fiscal deficit, our inability to produce goods which are competitive in price anywhere in the world marketplace; the intolerable price of oil and gasoline... every politician is either avoiding the issue of, or lying about responsibility for the "energy crisis," and coming up with recycled, revisited and previously rejected (or just downright untenable) strategies (or even "strategeries").
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Here's is "why" of Thorium:
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
1. Oil, like heroin, is a substance controlled by cartels, operating in collusion. They completely control supply and price through audacious manipulation. This is a fact. There are no national allegiances involved. The gambit is simple - stick a needle in an arm (or a hose in a gas tank), and then keep jacking the price up once addiction has incapacitated the customer's ability to negotiate. Thorium.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
2. President Bush is advocating drilling for oil off of the coast of California, and in any other place that can support an oil rig without shifting a tectonic plate. Environmentally untenable. Politically funereal. It would take another 5 to 10 years to generate a sufficient influx of oil. All of this oil, and its transport, would, ironically be in the hands of the same bullies who have brought us to this point. He has the unmitigated testicular fortitude to refer to this as his proposed "oil remedy". This ploy is almost as stupid as it is obvious to any individual having enough functioning neurons to create a spark. There is no longer any separation of Oil and State -- I smell a conflict of interest. Thorium.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
3. Candidate John McCain would like to see 45 new nuclear reactors by 2030. That's gratuitous of him. They would have to be Thorium-powered, and we would have to get a few up and running post haste. Thorium.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
4. Bad weather, seasoned with quite a bit of greed have made corn (as well as some other fermentable crops) exceedingly expensive, rendering ethanol more expensive and less appealing, as either an oil additive or as an oil substitute. Should the Global warming trend continue, our crop production will become increasingly erratic, boosting prices into the fiscal stratosphere. A poor corn crop and we won't be able to recharge our cellular phones or our iPods! Like Gilligan's Island... Thorium.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
5. Even England is investigating the immediate viability (for mobilization within the next three to five years) of Thorium energy. The U.S. is paying a tremendous price for its slowness in "coming 'round" to Thorium awareness. It is comforting, but shocking, just the same, to have an increasing percentage of environmentalists in this country favoring Thorium.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Sadly, it takes an indolent and misinformed United States public a very long time to come around to any conclusion about anything...but the public is beginning to speak. Not directly, perhaps, but through NGOs, lobbyists, Political Action Committees, the Scientific Community, the Academic Community, the environmentalists - We need Thorium. And we need it now.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
If I were as mercenary as my mother has accused me of being, I would buy all of the Thorium resources and reserves immediately (if I could find a solvent bank to spot me the loan!), and I would simply wait for the inevitable.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Thorium is a wonderful choice. It is made even more so by the conclusion that there are no other viable alternatives.
