If they made a good one and patented it, they would just about have a lock
on the industry. Thorium reactors have some attractive features.

Every now and then it helps to re-assess opinions and ideas such as this. If
you honestly think that Bush is the _only_ person in Washington dealing with
the national security problem you have to wonder why no one else seems to be
concerned about this and maybe, just maybe, it could be a misconception you
have formed.

Sometimes, when the majority of people disagree with you they are actually
correct.

You are misreading the posts.

If you had spent a moment or two reading them or even trying to understand
you would see what you are saying to "unsettled" here makes no sense.

The rest of your post is nonsense.
