What ilikecomics said with a splash of special interest lobbying thrown in.
For decades 1 company had an effective monopoly on providing fuel assemblies to almost all traditional reactors. Westinghouse.
Ironically, Fukushima may have been a double edged sword. While it has contributed to the public doubts about the safety of nuclear technology. Something that fossil fuel companies have been extremely quick to pounce on. It's also weakened the iron grip of traditional reactor technology. Reactors are being shut down around the world because of Fukushima and plummeting demand for fuel nearly bankrupted westinghouse and its parent company Toshiba. This has had the secondary effect of opening up a gap in the market to alternate nuclear technologies. The problem is those companies don't have the resources to effectively lobby their potential. That's why development is so slow. The propaganda machine being brought to bear against them from fossil fuel companies is extremely difficult to overcome. They try and succeed in convincing the public and politicians that all nuclear technology should be lumped together and are all equally dangerous.
There's a lot of factors at play though. Fossil fuel companies aren't quick to tell people that burning coal has released vastly more radioactive pollution into the atmosphere than all the nuclear accidents combined simply by virtue of the fact that coal has radioactive nucleides in it.
Thorium isn't new nuclear technology. It was developed at the same time as Uranium and Plutonium reactor technologies in the 1950s. They were favoured over thorium and thus funded by government because of 1 fundamental difference. They could create isotopes for use in nuclear weapons where as thorium technology could not.

Texas has added 36 more deaths to the official death toll from the February 2021 snow and ice storm, bringing the total to 246 in what was one of the worst natural disasters in the state's history.
The Department of State Health Services disclosed the new total in a report on the storm that was released Friday, and described as the "final report" in an analysis by the department's Disaster Mortality Surveillance Unit.
The deaths occurred between February 11th and June 4th. The figure includes people who were injured in the storm but did not die until later, and also people whose bodies were found after the storm, including during repairs of damaged homes.
Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.

There always a crisis in big cities. Which could be polluted due to industries wastage and landfills where people throw their garbage. I got to know about World most polluted countries Where Texas also available. You can read the same here useful link.That refer to the future issue going to be big due to human burning coal and Cutting trees.

After six power plants went down unexpectedly Friday—and with hot weather expected across Texas this weekend—the Electric Reliability Council of Texas on Friday evening is asking consumers to conserve electricity through Sunday.
Texans are asked to set their thermostats to 78 degrees or above between 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. this weekend, and to avoid using large appliances at home during those same times.
Many Texans vividly remember February 2021, when millions of people were without power for days in subfreezing temperatures after a combination of cold weather across the state and skyrocketing demand for energy shut down power plants. Hundreds of people died
Republican Governor Greg Abbot had ERCoT withhold the announcment until after business hours on Friday, so no one would have to answer for it.
Texas officials cannot keep the power on, but at least they are against abortion, LGBTQ children, and critical race theory. And the retards clapped!
