Thorium is useless for making nuclear weapons. That's why our government had 0 interest in thorium tech from 1942ish to 2017.
I believe in micro grids too.
Since most transmission losses happen during peak use the micro grids powered by solar could eliminate a good portion of peak load associated line losses.
