It's Time To Talk!
Be part of the Thorium Energy Conference, ThEC2011: More information will follow soon.
huge potential of Thorium to solve the looming energy crisis; ThEC12 in Shanghai is the event of the year for everyone with an interest in the future of Thorium Energy and its many related fields. 
Academy of Sciences (SINAP, CAS) and International Thorium Energy Organisation (IThEO) will co-host this conference and make it a success.
Blue Ribbon Commission (BRC) on America’s Nuclear Future concludes its report on how to deal with the growing nuclear waste problem. This is an immediate problem created over a very long time period. However, the long term solution for nuclear energy has to be divided into two; the most important being to create safe, clean, affordable and scalable energy and the second being a way to deal with the waist situation.
Bill Gates has confirmed he is in discussions with China to jointly develop a new and safe kind of nuclear reactor.
The ThEC11 presentations and program have been posted online and are available to view or download.
All ThEC11 contributors and attendees have earned standing ovations!
At ThEC11, two gentlemen will tell their stories as politicians in Washington with a scientific background. Bill Foster will present on the important subject "What life is like as a scientist in congress" and Parker Griffith will present on why “Science doesn't speak for itself".

Quotes on Thorium
“I can still remember the thrill that came with my realization that the breeder meant inexhaustible energy.”
“I became obsessed with the Idea that humankind's whole future depended on the breeder.”
Alvin Weinberg
“No endeavor that is worthwhile is simple in prospect; if it is right, it will be simple in retrospect.”
Edward Teller
“Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous impatience. Once implemented they can be easily overturned or subverted through apathy or lack of follow-up, so a continuous effort is required.”
Admiral Hyman G. Rickover
