I found this link on the Cold Fusion Times website.
What powers the laser that heats the thorium? Is this a parody?

getting closer to putting prototype electric cars on the road that will be
powered by the heavy-metal thorium.
Thorium is a naturally occurring, slightly radioactive rare-earth element
discovered in 1828 by the Swedish chemist Jons Jakob Berzelius, who named it
after Thor, the Norse god of thunder. It is found in small amounts in most
rocks and soils, where it is about three times more abundant than uranium."
