Could someone please open a kickstarter for a new thorium reactor design and construction?

I'll gladly contribute to the initial cost (probably billions) just to get a lifetime of free and CO2-efficient electricity.

Couldn't this way of funding bypass most "big firm" inefficiencies and legacy cruft, just as SpaceX did?

There's a non-profit to support development of LFTR here: https://www.facebook.com/EnergyFromThorium?ref=nf

If you are an American, another thing you can do is sign the petition to stop the destruction of the U233.
