Thorium is THE Nuclear Fuel - Accept No Substitutes

As this outstanding article from The Telegraph explains, Thorium is THE nuclear fuel for the future.  It's cheap (there's lots of it and it's easily accessible), clean (has a very short half life) and safe (Thorium reactors can't melt down).  Oh, and did I mention that it can actually burn Plutonium as part of the reaction process...?  What are we waiting for?
