Smart scare crow on the "one that got away"

I was looking for something on nuclear cement, and I came across this smartscarecrow show, which featured thorium.

It looks like he couldn't use the video he wanted to use, but he did get the guy who made it to come on his show and be interviewed.  Here's the beginning of the segment here.

The video has been shown on this blog before.  I'd like to mention it here in context with the negativity towards nuclear energy that he covered on the video somewhere around at this point in it.  It is a total rejection of not only nuclear, but every technology that has been invented.  This is a rather extreme position, which if it takes hold, will lead to a permanent lowering of the standard of living.  They won't tell you this, but are instead trying to push the idea that wind and solar can take the place of fossil and nuclear.

I once wrote that the real dream, as you might say to someone who is unrealistic, is not thorium.  The real dream is the ones who are pushing so-called renewables.  But that is how things are today.  The one thing that is REALISTIC is a dream.  The thing that is a DREAM isn't realistic.
