Thorium oxide is not particularly expensive. Thorium metal is very expensive, but this may be because there is so little demand for it that it has to be specially made when someone wants it.

What are the top 4 reasons for developing thorium technology?
1. Thorium is more abundant than uranium. 2. Thorium is not so expensive as uranium. 3. Countries without uranium but with thorium reserves have the possibility to build nuclear reactors. 4. Natural thorium has only one isotope; enrichment is not necessary. 5. Thorium can't be used in nuclear weapons. 6. The specific activity of thorium is very low. 7. The physical properties of ThO2 are superior to the properties of UO2. 8. The nuclear properties of thorium are suitable for a nuclear fertile material.
Why cant homeowners use thorium to use as energy to power up individual homes and stay off the power grid?
Thorium is not a fissile material; and also is dangerous and expensive to have a nuclear reactor in each home.
Common commpouds of thorium?
Hazards and Health Considerations: Thorium presents both a toxic and radiological hazard. Toxicologically, it causes heavy metal poisoning similar to lead or the uranium isotopes. Biologically, thorium accumulates in the skeletal system where it has a biological half-life of 200 years, the same as plutonium. An M 17 protective mask and standard anti-contamination clothing will adequately protect against thorium.
