Thorium Energy Alliance 
Media and Events
If you have not already, please consider helping Gordon McDowell reach the mark necessary to produce the documentary "SCIENCE of LFTR: the Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor". Gordon created many of the online videos you're already very familiar with including the ever-popular 'Thorium Remix' videos. Now he is taking on a grand venture that will certainly be worth your support. Click here or on the image to make a pledge.
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.
Richard Martin was the first to write about thorium in the mainstream press. His feature story in Wired catalyzed the thorium power movement. An award-winning journalist whose work has appeared in Time, Fortune, The Atlantic, and The Best Science Writing, Martin is the editorial director of Pike Research, a leading clean-energy firm.
The book will be released May 8, 2012. Pre-order the book now at Amazon.com
