Thorium, now lower price than any other energy source · Energy Tech Summit

Published 2024-02-12
Thomas Jam Pedersen, Co-Founder of Copenhagen Atomics, took to the main stage to give a keynote speech about how thorium molten salt reactors can make energy cheaper than any other.

He presented the company's vision and how to continue to build momentum for the development of thorium molten salt reactors which burn nuclear waste to create an abundance of green energy.

    India has largest thorium reserve and we need molten salt reactor
  • Still waiting for the Thorium micro-reactor to power a town for 120 years . . .
  • @fancyIOP
    Come to South Africa 🇿🇦, we want a 2500MW power plant and there’s a bid. Come and build it here, 2.4GW of a big plant and 100MW of SMR. The company will be picked before end of the year, mid year I think. Come to SA and show us what you got.
  • @gerrtryks2944
    Everything is well presented how long will it take youre company take to build a complete,eg thorium reactor from start to producing power?
  • @jonnyde
    Donate some to Ukraine and the world will know the difference
  • What i want to hear is whether the problem of the corrosive nature of flouride has already been technologically solved.
  • @gerrtryks2944
    There's a new process for welding local electron beam welding
  • @gerrtryks2944
    I hope that you are considering the challenge from SA no chemical reaction from glass
  • @Julian-of3qj
    Sounds too good to be true. Where's the catch?
  • @rtzx12570
    China is currently running a thorium reator. Why does he does nobody else is running one apart from Copenhagen atomics. What is the difference between the copenhagen type and china's

    This video has tons of discrepancies. They were not the inventors of this technology. The US developed this back in the 70s and was shutdown down by politics and the Cold War. The people who developed this are dead or retired for decades.

    Please also produce a video on David LaPorts’s Energy Reactor that generates fusion level heat through opposing rotating bowl magnet fields. The radical theory holds that the rotating fields draw energy directly from the aether and is turned on and off with no radio active residual wastes,,. and no storage issues whatsoever. NAMASTE

    Yeah, 0 deaths* from nuclear war. "I don't know why people think it's dangerous". 🤦‍♂️ * Excluding the quarter million from Hiroshima & Nagaski, obviously.
  • Sure, it's lower price, as it's not available. You can put on any phantasy price tag you consider helpful in advertising. Wanna buy my brand new Lambo for 99 cents? Sorry, I don't have a Lambo for sale.

    Several projects have been stopped because of exorbant cost over runs. It may be an improvement over existing technologies. The elephant in the room is that who really wants more nuclear materials spread around the countryside. And who is going to provide the security against terrorist attacks. My guess is that an off the shelf rifle can destroy these units from a half mile away. Ignoring the massive success of solar and the continual price improvements probably makes this a pipe dream.
