Nuclear

The college educated White liberals are facing a dilemma. They understand that a country's well being is closely tied to the availability of electricity. The standard of living has risen dramatically over the past 100 years because of electric power. While the West has benefited greatly from this, the developing world has been left behind. The people of Africa are trying to catch up and their only chance is coal since it is widely available and affordable but environmentalist in the West are opposed. The West has spent 200 years puffing coal ash into the atmosphere but they want to deny this to the rest of the world. It poses a moral problem, especially to those who profess to be concerned about poor and down trodden but instead of considering nuclear power which could be shared around the world, they stubbornly hang on to wind and solar. Small thorium reactors can be shipped around the world and every country has an almost unlimited supply of thorium. This is China's long term plan. They currently have a small reactor up and running and plan to manufacture these on a assembly line and sell them to the world.
