Clean coal, no more landfills, abundant drinking water, cheaper and more efficient cars, cheaper gasoline, and curing cancer. What do all of these have in common? They are all side effects of using thorium and the molten salt reactor!

In this episode of Rock Logic, we discuss the applications of using thorium and the MSR:

-Cleaner, cheaper coal

-Turning landfills into synthetic natural gas

-Help makes America a dominant figure on the global stage for oil drilling and refineries

-Provides load following for intermittent renewable energies (solar and wind)

In addition, we discuss the fringe benefits of using the MSR:

-Cheaper aluminum

-Excess heat waste desalinates water for free, leading to cheaper and more abundant water

-Byproducts are rare medical isotopes used in curing cancer -Future tech: can be used in space exploration and terraforming.
