A West Virginia Nuclear Power Project
A plea for molten salt reactors and thorium energy in West Virginia...
This site is NOT authorized by U.S. Senator Joe Manchin!

(OPEN)
I am a nerd, raised/residing in West Virginia, where I am registered as an unaffiliated voter.
I purchased the domain (at $12/year) for benevolent, educational, and non-profit purposes.
I maintain accurate, up-to-date contact information with the domain name registrar.
I am not holding the domain for ransom, because I am not a profiteer, but an always free Mountaineer.
I intend not to tarnish the reputation of Senator Joe Manchin, but rather to assist with the revitalization of West Virginia.
I understand that Senator Joe Manchin is a distinctive entity, who may (counter-intuitively) disapprove of the contents of this website.
I am not acting in bad faith, though many U.S. Senators would consider cybersquatting to be a great free-market tactic!
To the People of West Virginia:
You have depended on the coal industry for longer than anybody can remember.

And now the coal industry appears to be dying, with some saying it will not “rise from the ashes.”
(further reading)
But what if there is another industry that can revitalize our economy?
(further reading)
Nuclear to the rescue!
(further reading)
There are numerous nuclear reactor designs from which West Virginia stands to benefit.

Thorium-based and molten salt reactors, however, may prove to be most compatible with Wild & Wonderful West Virginia.

Intrigued? Please, pore over the following information. Go ahead! Pore! Pore until you can pore no more!
Interested in batteries? Well then, pore s'more!
Interested in fusion energy? Well then, pore s'more... s'more!
How 'bout some green ammonia?
It's high time for West Virginia to have pathways toward long-term economic well-being! West Virginia will be here long after we are dead, but so will the damage inflicted by an ongoing reliance upon any fossil fuel industry. The nuclear power industry will make plentiful use of the familiar skills that you've devoted to the coal-fired power industry, but with a much healthier return on investment.
That is all! Much love!
