Nuclear Power from Thorium
When one hears the phrase "nuclear power", one tends to assume that Uranium is the source of that power. Recently, there's been a lot of talk about replacing Uranium with Thorium. Has anyone done the Uranium v Thorium analysis?

Show us the numbers...
"Nuclear power could be very cost-competitive with other low-emissions technologies. But the private sector may struggle to finance nuclear power plants without government support. The long-run cost estimates for nuclear power broadly match current estimates for several other low-emissions technologies."

Show us the numbers that prove that new nuclear is as cheap as wind, geothermal or even solar. And don't cut nuclear any special deal by falling back on low cost government loans or loan guarantees.

Be sure to include the full cost of liability insurance.
