A thorium plasma battery the size of a shoebox could power an entire house for a year. Prototypes have been built. The U.S. government has been using eminent domain to take over patents and applications. Several scientists have been killed after talking about these batteries. If thorium plasma batteries became available on the market, clean energy would be abundant, but the U.S. government does not want that. They get over 35% of their income from taxing old energy technologies.
