Thorium Energy Alliance Conference - check for the next one at thoriumenergyalliance.com . The Thorium Energy Alliance is a 501(c)3 [pending] organization that promotes the research and development of a Thorium Energy Economy. This preliminary video presents the core reasons that Thorium must be pursued as an energy source. We encourage viewers to join the Thorium Energy Alliance and to contact decision makers and promote this overlooked and proven technology. Here's another one from the world of unlimited conceptual design: the Cadillac World Thorium Fuel concept. Otherwise known as the Cadillac WTF. Created by Loren Kulesus, everything about the WTF has been created to last 100 years without maintenance. That's the reason for the element number ninety, thorium: to act as a nuclear fuel powering batteries that would power the car. Elsewhere, every major system is redundant in case of a failure. And the wheels don't have individual tires - in fact, what's located at eac
