A new solution to our global energy crisis may lie in a simple element few know –thorium

At the dawn of the atomic age, uranium and thorium were equally important as the element
of choice in researching nuclear energy. Either one could have powered the world’s reactors.
But it was uranium that won out, and thorium, which is far cleaner, safer, and more abundant
than uranium, was relegated to the dustbin of science. With it went the possibility of
creating a low risk nuclear energy source to power our planet. What might have happened
had our scientists and our government, and the nuclear power industry invested the
resources to develop this little known yet abundant element? Would we face a global
energy crisis and the prospect of catastrophic climate change today? Why are countries
around the world, including rising economic superpowers India and China, rushing to
develop electricity from thorium while the United States, which studied thorium reactors
extensively in the 1960s, plays catch up?

Now, as the world searches for cheap, non-carbon-emitting energy sources, thorium is
reemerging as an overlooked solution. As one of the first energy experts to promote
the development of thorium, award-winning science writer Richard Martin combines
science, new historical research, and a gripping business narrative to tell the
untold story of thorium power – and show how we can wean ourselves off our fossil-fuel
addiction, deliver a safe energy source for a millennia, and avert the risk of nuclear
meltdown.

At once a big think book and a science manifesto, SuperFuel challenges us to look back
at what could have been different in history and forward to an energy revolution in the
making. The most important science and technology book of the year, SuperFuel will
change the discussion of our energy future.
