    The real solution is LFTR reactors.

    No more enrichment, ever.
    Cheap fuel (currently is a waste product of mining)
    No more 100+ Atmosphere pressure vessels to burst
    No more backup generators needed
    Accidental meltdowns are impossible
    Turn reactor on/off in hours/minutes not months
    Unable to weaponize any part of fuel or waste.
    Needs Uranium only to start the reactor
    Creates leukemia fighting medical isotopes
    Creates isotopes for space-grade batteries for NASA
    Creates very little waste

    Issue: Regulations set by existing Nuke industry.

    That's ok.

    When the Chinese announces they have a functioning LFTR reactor in 2020 and is willing to burn nuclear waste at a price, then Thorium will become the "good" nuclear stuff.

    It has to do with their funding model.

    A few years ago I remember reading how congress lived up to their name and decided to cut back on funding at the USPTO (or even make it a profit centre)

    Next thing you know they are willing to patent anything from though processes to math equations.

    If challenges to patents meant the USPTO would share even 10% of the court costs when the patent is invalidated, this shit would get fixed quickly.
