http://ThoriumRemix.com/ The light water industry, the industry we have, is very defensive it has really- it serves the utilities, not the vendors, not the scientists, not the engineers but the operators, the utilities they are in the catbird seat they control the general view expressed by the nuclear industry. And they're timid.

They don't want to say nuclear is better than coal it's cleaner than natural gas because they have a lot of sunk investment in coal and because they're buying that all gas very cheaply. They never want to be put in the classic advertising situation of saying: "This is better." "We are moving ahead." "This is superior." 

Llewellyn King:
When you come along and you say a reactor is going to be much better, safer perhaps, than previous reactors this alarms them because the sunken investment and the fear for the fleet that they have.
