Thomas Jam Pedersen, engineer and co-founder of Copenhagen Atomics, was skeptical at first upon discovering and reading about thorium energy, which is present everywhere in the world and could technically provide an inexpensive energy supply for everyone for thousand years.
While the world is still heavily relying on fossil fuels, thorium energy and nuclear reactors, which reuse nuclear waste, are now part of the energy debate, proposing a pollution-free solution that could provide an unlimited supply of fuel for the next millennium.
Thomas Jam Pedersen aims to build a thorium molten salt reactor in Copenhagen, and introduce thorium energy to the public eye.
Thomas Jam Pedersen is an engineer, who has extensive experience in software and simulations. With a group of chemical engineers and physicists, he co-founded the startup Copenhagen Atomics. He also writes a blog about thorium energy on the website Ingeniøren.

Yes anything is possible.
But when Rudolph Hess flew to Scotland to offer a peaceful solution to the war, he was arrested and put in prison. When the Nuremburg trials started he was returned to Germany. He died in Spandau prison. The prison was demolished to keep it from becoming a site of worship for neo-Nazis.
Before Hess was arrested in Scotland, the wife of the farmer who discovered him served him tea. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. ;)

That second point is the deal killer, I expect.

This is true. Right now they just leave the Thorium in the tailings since there is no use for it. If it were used to generate power then it would become valuable.
Hillary needs to be indicted in Federal Court for giving the Russians 20% of our Uranium. ;)
