China is in the forefront of building Thorium nuclear power generators and expects to sell them globally. What does that mean for fossil fuel? It does not have to cut off fossil fuel totally, as it takes time for renewables to take root. But when the pros outweigh the cons of using renewables, the adoption will see a titanic shift. The USA will have to start demonizing China for selling Thorium nuclear power plants as it did in wind turbines and solar panels.
Let me illustrate my own experience using LPG gas for boiling water and cooking. Hougang does not have piped gas for your information. Using a kettle to boil water in the past took almost 10 minutes. Using an electric kettle just took me about 5 minutes. One LPG gas tank lasts me slightly more than a month, including usage for cooking. Now that same tank lasts me more than 2 to 3 months, using a combination of microwave and electric kettle. This isn't a joke, just personal experience. I am, honestly speaking, a very skeptical person, but has been converted to using electric whenever I can. I intend to buy an induction cooker if LPG gas price escalate due to the war in the Middle East.
