Chris, the why not gang is probably correct, but I do not see most people as rational actors in this. They know what they feel and want, and fission is not it. Again, not rational reasons.

There is a wide variety of reasons, and they cannot all be lumped under the rubric of irrational opposition as you seem to imply. -----Original Message----- From: meekerdb <meeke...@verizon.net> To: everything-list <everything-list@googlegroups.com> Sent: Tue, May 20, 2014 1:24 am Subject: Re: Thorium: the wonder fuel that wasn't On 5/19/2014 9:30 PM, 'Chris de Morsella' via Everything List wrote: At the risk of re-starting the Thorium wars <grin> this is a current article on the why NOTS of Thorium.
