And it isn't made by the Thorium guys. Perhaps a different perspective will yield a different answer to the question posed.
His answer was something on the order of "maybe".
Some of what he said seems questionable to me, but maybe I am a little biased in favor of Thorium.
Finally, you don't need Thorium in order to run a molten-salt reactor. The molten-salt reactor technology would work with uranium. Thorium is an added bonus. If you disagree with using thorium, you can still use uranium and it will work fine. As a matter of fact, there are some folks out there who would like to do that very thing.
One of the more aggressive outfits who is pursuing this strategy is Thorcon. ( Perhaps I got that wrong. Look at their name. THORcon? ) Thorcon wants to start making reactors within the five years of so. Maybe even sooner.
Be on the lookout then, for Thorcon.
