Thorium is the future. It could be the near future…

Because thorium is so dense, similar to uranium, it stores considerable potential energy: 1 gm of thorium equals the energy of 7,500 gallons (28,391 L) of gasoline Stevens says. So, using just 8 gm of thorium in a car should mean it would never need refueling.

Stevens’ prototype systems exist today and are small and safe enough to use everywhere producing less radiation than a banana.
