Hi,
This on-line lecture gave me a pleasant "We're going to make it" feeling and I hope it gives you some of the same. Tthe presenter, Kirk Sorensen, would be an excellent guest on Thom's show.

I look forward to hearing an interview with him someday.
Enjoy,
Mike
P.S. I got interested in Thorium reactors after reading the following article in American Scientist magazine (a serious peer reviewed journal run by an honor society):

Unfortunately, the actual article isn't available online for free, but more info can be found at:
