The DBI Thorium reactor’s scalability, safety, low cost and zero carbon emissions offer nation-states a clear, environmentally sustainable path to achieving energy independence. Energy independence provides a society with a range of benefits including reduced energy reliance on adversarial or instability-prone regions, an improved balance of payments and enhanced socioeconomic security.
World oil production may soon peak and decline, leading to further price increases which will only exacerbate the problem of wealth transfer from oil importing to oil exporting countries. As oil becomes scarcer, countries may begin relying more on imported natural gas, a situation that could very well end up mimicking the problems associated with oil reliance. Furthermore, considering that China, India and other expanding economies each year consume a greater percentage of the world’s energy output; the outlook for energy-importing countries becomes even bleaker. It is also important to remember that some of the largest energy producing regions, prone to social and political instability, live under the regular threat of terrorism, civil and international military conflict. In the current geopolitical climate, energy independence is a goal to which all reasonable governments subscribe.
The DBI reactor, powered by safe, low cost and widely available thorium fuel, will play a significant role in levelling the energy playing field. With thorium and DBI technology, countries can achieve the formerly-elusive dream of energy independence.
