šØšA NUCLEAR EARTHQUAKE IN ENERGY HISTORYĀ ššØ
šØš³Ā CHINA STRIKES GOLD⦠BUT CLEANER THAN GOLDĀ šØš³
China has just dropped a once-in-a-civilization bombshell on the global energy stage. In early 2025, declassified geological reports confirmed a staggering discovery at theĀ
Bayan Obo
Ā mining complex in Inner Mongolia:
āļøĀ OVER 1 MILLION TONS OF THORIUMĀ identified ā enough clean power to potentially fuel the nation forĀ 60,000 YEARS.
š¬ Chinese scientists identifiedĀ 233 new thorium-rich zonesĀ nationwide, with this massive find valued at approximatelyĀ $178 BILLION, instantly positioning Beijing as the future superpower of next-generation nuclear energy.
šĀ WHY THORIUM CHANGES EVERYTHING
This is Energy 4.0 ā a civilizational upgrade over old-school nuclear:
Abundance:Ā 3x to 4x more plentiful than uranium.
Efficiency:Ā 1 ton can generate as much energy as 200 tons of uranium or millions of tons of coal.
Safety:Ā Most thorium reactors useĀ molten salt technology, meaning a far lower meltdown risk; if a leak occurs, the fuel solidifies instantly.
Clean:Ā Zero greenhouse gas emissions and minimal radioactive waste that decays in centuries, not millennia.
Security:Ā Not easily usable for weapons, reducing global nuclear proliferation risks.
šĀ CHINAāS FOURTH-GEN NUCLEAR LEAP
This discovery turbo-charges Chinaās advanced nuclear program. In 2024, China'sĀ TMSR-LF1Ā reactor in the Gobi Desert achieved full power, marking the world's first operational thorium molten salt reactor. Beijing is now constructing a largerĀ 10 MW prototypeĀ slated for operation byĀ 2029-2030.
šĀ GLOBAL SHOCKWAVES
Thorium could end fossil-fuel dependence and reshape the geopolitical power map. Experts say while the West sits on its own potential reserves, China has grabbed the steering wheel in the race for the atom of the future.
