The popular YouTube technology review channel ColdFusion has made an excellent video on Thorium Energy as a potential source of energy for the future.

Flibe Energy with its Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor (LFTR) concept, is one of the three companies that was today awarded a GAIN Nuclear Energy (NE) Voucher to accelerate the innovation and application of its technology. 

Join us exploring this 370 year old iron mine that is super rich in Thorium. A cubic kilometer contains more energy than in all past and future oil and gas of Norway. Given that oil and gas have made Norway 1,5 trillion $, the wealthiest country on Earth, why doesn't Norway develop this future energy solution?

With at least ten and potentially a thousand times the energy potential of the entire Norwegian oil reserves (past and future) in an area of a couple of square kilometers, the thorium-rich Fensfelt is an interesting place. 
Thorium is so abundant that even a normal roadside has 100 times the normal background radiation, and one can see and touch the rock band with about 1% thorium in it.
