China’s thorium molten salt reactor
 

So maybe all the wars for oil and natural gas will one day end. What else is there we can we fight over?

Well over here in the UK it is currently petrol/gas.

To use or not to use electricity in general, maybe?:hmmm:

You now, these reactors will be rejected by many Greens simply for not being windmills or photovoltaic power. And in general, its the wrong social order. So lets continue the fight, no matter what.

Good for them. Pretty much any nation that has nuclear reactors has experimented with MSRs although not always using Thorium

Yep - windmills and solar are *not* green technologies. Windmills end up killing birds and create noise pollution that drives away wildlife. Manufacture of solar cells is hideously polluting.

If China is actually successful in making the things viable, they will have further positioned them selves as the rising leader in beneficial technologies; with the work they have been doing in electric vehicles and alternative fuel systems, their ability to leverage influence in petroleum-poor nations in exchange for native resources, much as the US was able to leverage oil as a means of advancing their agenda in the past; we are quickly rendering ourselves to a marginal status on the world stage...
