Obama could kill fossil fuels overnight with a nuclear dash for thorium

The article needs more information. I'm skeptical of any "wonder fuel" if we've known about it for years and haven't used it. There's some reason or another why... and it's usually political or economical.
The article left much to be desired on the "downsides" of Thorium.

Find a president that hasn't had money invested in oil, and I think you'll find your answer.

A bit expensive to get progress, but it could easily replace the electrical power grid we now use. Even better, we could sell or give them to other countries without worry of somebody building a nuclear weapon.

I'm sure with a little training, I could switch to puppies for Thorium harvesting.

A rumor that I remember from back in the 1980s, was that a thorium-fluoride reactor was built and operated overseas. The information about that vanished. They aren't very big, you could fit one in a big garage with a tall ceiling. Yes, that means the setup is simple and just about anyone could build one.
I knew a fair amount about them back then, and was honestly trying to figure out how to downsize one and fit it in the back of a van. No can do...

my "puppy tears" alert went off, what's going on here?
although, you can't get the puppies to cry if you curb stomp them too hard, too fast.
