Quote of the Day.

At Watts Up With That on the topic of the Chinese announcement that they're researching the development of a thorium molten salt reactor.
Will the US accept the challenge or allow the Chinese to dominate advanced nuclear technology too? Using a technology invented in the US 40 years ago no less!

This isn’t a “Sputnik moment” Mr. President, it’s a “shit or get off the pot” moment for US energy policy.
And there's nothing anyone can add to that except to note that at the moment the Chinese do seem to be into nicking America's old stuff and hoping nobody notices.
