You didn't really make a point, you randomly mentioned that Thorium reactors were made in the 60s and stated something irrelevant to do with nuclear weapons. I don't care whether Thorium was or was not researched, nor why that may or may not have been the case - Thorium-based nuclear reactors are not at present a viable source of electricity generation.

A 2010 National Nuclear Laboratory report concluded the thorium fuel cycle 'is likely to have only a limited role internationally for some years ahead' and concluded claims for thorium were 'overstated'.

Even if thorium technology does progress to the point where it might be commercially viable, it will face the same problems as conventional nuclear: it is not renewable or sustainable. And that's A LONG way off.
