With both China and India recently announcing that thorium powered reactors were part of their agenda, interest in thorium as an energy scource will increase. Fancy Martin Ferguson from the Australian labor party being the opening speaker. Australia has been resisting the temptation to go neuclear for so long now it should be among the first to embrace this new technology and for a change, it should be at the forefront of new research. Clean non polluting, safe pwer is within our reach and Lynas can be among the benificiaries. Why is the Australian goverment not instructing local research bodies like the CSIRO to commence studies into how Australia can benefit from the use of thorium to power our future energy needs! Why must all of this be left to countries like the USA, India and China.
