We spent a large portion of Friday, September 9th at the Department of Energy and Climate Change, where we were privileged to discuss details of LFTR technology, including the details of the power conversion system with top DECC officials. Many DECC staff members then attended the open presentation on LFTR. Keep reading…
NEWS RELEASE
September 26, 2011
Huntsville, Ala. – Flibe Energy Inc. has named six members to the Flibe Energy Board of Advisors. The board members will provide direction and guidance in the continued development and commercialization of the liquid fluoride thorium reactor or LFTR (pronounced “lifter”).
Flibe Energy Inc. is the leader in development of LFTR technology, which harnesses the energy stored in thorium, the Earth’s most abundant and dense natural energy source. A small handful of thorium can supply a lifetime’s energy needs, a small grain silo of thorium could power North America for a year and known thorium reserves could power society for thousands of years.
LFTR can produce not only safe, sustainable electricity, but lifesaving medical radioisotopes, desalinated water and ammonia for agriculture and synthesized fuels in the process. LFTR technology will have tremendous impacts in global energy, medical, agricultural and industrial sectors. Read about the board members…
I think “forgotten fuel” is probably one of the best ways I’ve heard thorium described…and I love the picture of the Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment.
On Friday, September 23, several of us from Flibe Energy traveled to Oak Ridge National Laboratory for a short meeting and a driving tour of some of the historical sites there.
I was briefly interviewed today by New Hampshire Public Radio:
I think most people will be very surprised to someday discover that the answer to our energy problems was hiding in plain sight since the 1960s.
That was the essential character of the question that Baroness Bryony Worthington asked in the House of Lords on September 7th, 2011. I had the privilege of being in the House of Lords as she asked the question, and the response was very positive from both sides of the chamber. Keep reading…
That is the central question that brought Kirk Dorius and me to the United Kingdom as Flibe Energy to participate in the launch of the Weinberg Foundation, a new non-governmental organization (NGO) dedicated to the advancement of thorium and the fluid-fuelled reactor.
Our trip was so full that I have struggled over the last several days to try to communicate much of it to our friends, family members, investors, and other interested parties here in the US, and the series of blog posts that I intend to write will be an attempt to tell the story through words and pictures of all that happened to us there.

The question was asked by Baroness Angela Smith of Basildon, and the government’s response was given by Lord Marland of Odstock, who is Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Department of Energy and Climate Change. Keep reading…
