Thorium is promising, but I've heard on a TED talk (can't find the link now, it was a talk with lots of data and projection being presented) that even if we were to build one nuclear power plant each day, it would not be enough to keep up with the increase in energy usage, much less to switch over completely. Do you have any figures or an experimental apparatus to back up what you said?
