Review for Thorium Energy Alliance, Harvard, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have observed Thorium Energy Alliance from a distance for about 10 years. My first exposure was about 2013 when I attended one of the first conferences with my father in his 80s. He was convinced of the importance of Liquid Salt Reactors - particularly LFTRs and an avid evangelist to anyone who would give him 3 minutes to hear about them. I listened to the excitement, but at that time all hope of getting Gen 4 reactors online seemed mainly theoretical. In my view it felt a little pie-in-the-sky. Last October, I attended the TEAC and discovered how dramatically things have changed! The advances in 10 years have been dramatic and the progress is exciting! If all TEA had been doing was reporting on progress, that would have been significant, but it seems this organization has been a gathering place where ideas could be shared freely and the progress encouraged and celebrated. I am not a scientist or an engineer, but thanks to TEA I am firmly convinced that Gen4 reactors are the best hope we have for low-carbon energy generation and a cooler planet. Thanks to TEA, I believe we just might achieve it.
