Liquid-flouride thorium reactors as an alternative to nuclear reactors:
Very interesting watch!
From the comments: “Not as insane as some of the comments say here, I actually saw that happen once at a chinese restaurant.”
I wonder if Google will try to start building their own nuclear power plants?
Talks sponsored by google only, but even so… yeah, you know, I could see them putting money into something like this just… because.
Can I join the Republic of Google now?
I’d like to learn a bit more about this reactor solution. Power is fairly deregulated now - there must be reason why no one has bothered to build a unit to date other than resistance to change. Perhaps the tech to really make it work has only recently arrived?
edit: Some reactors are in the works for deployment in the next 20 years :/ --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_reactor
edit2: “On Aug. 16, 2006 the North-American Energy Group Corporation has announced its intention to research, and develop Thorium-based nuclear power generation facilities, and Thorium-based power cells.”
Has this been posted here?

I found this to be much WTFier than the crazy Japanese thing you linked.

There are some other versions up of that, but the original composition to the rooster here is much better.

The thread can be locked now, I just won.
Nice. I go from the dulcet tones of the creepy Donny video to your metal canine video. Thanks for the heart attack.
