I assume it would cost a lot in R&D although other nations are currently experimenting LFTR. Beside that, I don't think the cost-benefit is at a point where it would make sense. It's one thing to produce energy but it's another entirely to distribute it. We need to develop both source and distribution. There is a great video on thorium reactor that was posted here or on reddit a while ago. http://youtu.be/P9M__yYbsZ4?t=1s http://youtu.be/P9M__yYbsZ4?t=1s That's the extend of my knowledge on thorium.
