Once the rest of the world finds our about Asia's Thorium and "Red Hydrogen" they are going to leave the West in the manufacturing dust pile.
"Red Hydrogen" is the process of using Helium instead of water to cool the Uranium reaction...reaching a tremendous 1000 Celsius temperatures.
This heat is useful to rapidly split water into hydrogen and oxygen to use as fuels later. (America has a process called "Blue Hydrogen" which does the same thing with natural gas)
Thorium is like a "Red Hydrogen" nuclear reactor in that it doesn't require water or being near water to control the "Speed" of the nuclear reaction. Thorium is much safer in regards to "runaway" reaction speeds and temperatures.
The point being, if you can sustain 1000+ Celsius temperatures you have a clean steel industry...mining industry...everything gets cleaned up with these high temperatures.
The West is working on HVDC (underwater electric cables) that Asia has to ship electricity nearly a 1000 miles...but, the West wants to use solar panels...
Also, nuclear can produce a plasma from the high temperatures and send the plasma through a magnet to produce electricity directly without using steam and turbines at all.
I think the issue has moved away from Nuclear...but, what the Woke globalists want with WEF, ESG, CBDC, FedNow, etc. It isn't about climate change or "Carbon"
