  • Objection!
    • Thorium reactors create long lived waste!
    • Radiation is dangerous!
    • We need solar and wind, no nuclear!
    • That Thorium Car is nonsense!
    • Nuclear is not low carbon!
    • Fukushima shows that nuclear is not safe!
    • Nuclear is too expensive to be relevant!
  • Start saying Yes!
