If you have to explain the joke...

So in other words you don't develop clean technics because then some 'poorer' countries will use more of the cheaper and dirty techniques? Wshould try and make a cleaner grid, cleaner factories and a sustainable society.. right now that's in many ways just not true. If you wait for the perfect solution to start you'll never start.
I don't know if the solar panel myth is true or not, but you read everything in the internet. There are so many informations good and bad that it's hard to choose wich is right and wrong. There was an article that Gasoline need over a 110% of electricity equivalent of power that would be needed to move an electric car just by being refined. Other articles stated 40%...
I'm not a big fan of Bill Gate's time as president of Microsoft, but I'm a big admirer both of his work on his foundation and on his overall intellect and ability to adapt.
Watch his TED presentation on energy, and you'll see he doesn't really believe in wind and solar as a real solution, he doesn't state it outright, but considering he's willing to pour over a hundred millions on the travelling wave reactor, and zero on wind and solar, that speaks volumes.
Most people don't appreciate how much the energy world has shifted in the last ~5 years. Gates gave that speech nearly 4 years ago... solar was almost 3x as expensive as it is now. He DID mention solar as 1 of 5 solutions and other than nuclear it's the ONLY source capable of scaling to the levels that we need. The 3 challenges he brings up are cost, transmission and storage. The cost has largely been solved and transmission/storage solutions will be deployed as needed. Power supplies are still tightest during daylight hours... so obviously storage won't be an issue until this shifts.

Hey, I'm just being polite to our vision impaired readers.If you have to explain the joke...
It's 5 (almost 6) years later. Lots of new Youtube content about thorium reactors. Any knowledgable comments of the viability of LFTR thorium reactors vs solar, in either the Western or Eastern world? On Mars?
example (he gets to thorium at 11:37 but the first 10 minutes are worth watching IMO)... (60) Thorium and the Future of Nuclear Energy - YouTube
