A partial post on The Oil Drum?

It looks like I am going to get a partial post on The Oil Drum. They wanted a thousand words or less in support of nuclear energy. I submitted 950 words on the American thorium reserve. The reason I chose that topic, is that the Oil Drum crowd would immediately respond to support for nuclear power by announcing that we are running out of reactor fuel. This announcement would be followed by a loud cheer, from the return to the soil people who haunt The Oil Drum. That crowd desperately hopes we are running out of energy, and to avoid starvation we must return to the soil and grow our own food. The only energy that really matters in that view, is the energy that comes from the human body.

The fact that such an eventuality would probably mean the death of hundreds of millions of people, does not seem to bother the return to the soil crowd. I anticipate disappointing them with my announcement that we are not running out of energy. The first step is to demonstrate that the energy pessimists are wrong.
