Comment on Norway is building thorium reactorparent

This is a factual disagreement, hopefully a resolvable one.

Take a look at this book by David MacKay, Cambridge physicist. He presents detailed calculations on each energy source and, despite being anti-nuclear in initial orientation, agrees by the end of the book that nuclear energy is far cheaper and more scalable than any other renewable.
