Lobbying for liquid fluoride thorium reactors

LFTR is the first technology I have come across that seems to offer safe, reliable, relatively waste-free and plentiful energy

Excellent to read an article in August's PE mentioning Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors (LFTR). I would urge anyone interested in energy and the environment to investigate further. 

The limitations of renewables and conventional nuclear are often cited in this publication. LFTR is the first technology I have come across that genuinely seems to offer very safe, reliable, relatively waste-free and plentiful energy. We should be lobbying hard for its thorough and speedy investigation, development and implementation.
