It is after that (and approval) that a bank can finance a real prototype.

It needs vision from the Govt. to get a major project like
a Thorium research reactor going.
We would need to steal scientists from India & China
who are already way ahead of us.

If we could make it work we would rule the world.
We have the Thorium here in huge abundance as tailings already above the ground from old Uranium mines.

If we had that sort of vision it would encourage the banks to
invest ( or maybe even the super funds too.)

They stand to make trillions of dollars if they can some how manage to con the world into paying for the air we breathe.

Banks make trillions of dollars in many fields. If they see an opportunity to make money whether it's in property, business or Government policy they will take it. It is irrelevant to the science of Global Warming.

And no one is paying for the air they breathe. That is emotive nonsense

You cant connect the dots barnacle, selling free air on the stock exchange will save us......LOL

We already know from the last 26 odd years of observations that the General circulation models (GCM) of the IPCC were wrong and over estimated the warming by the end of this century.

Warming by the end of this century

IPCC computer models in 1990 projected warming……… +2.78° C / Century

Observations the last 25 years………………………….. +1.01° C / Century
