Thorium prices are really not going to rise all that much. People have a hard time understanding what the six-seven orders of magnitude difference in energy density between nuclear and chemical fuels means in practice. Basically, even if the entire world switches to being powered only by thorium, thorium will still mostly be a waste product. For the amount of digging you need to power a single coal plant you could power the entire earth and still have most of your production idle.
