Thorium is one of the radioactive elements that can greatly benefit mankind..

We are in grave danger from burning too much coal to generate the electric power we need..

Because Thorium will "burn" for decades, the cost of running a power station on Thorium is a little more than 1% of the price of coal, enough thorium is in the ground in the United States to provide all the electricity the United States uses for millions of years. Thorium generates no green-house gasses and has very little waste.

Thorium is so low on the Hazardous scale that it can be handled without gloves
