"but not in the sense that most people think of when they hear the word thorium [...] they haven’t created a cold fusion thorium reactor"

What is this supposed to mean? Who ever talked about cold fusion thorium reactor? Was the author thinking about toroidal fields in Tokamak (which is very hot fusion)??

Keep in mind, this article was written by the same author as "Cold Fusion reactor independently verified"[1]. He seems somewhat obsessed with the idea.

So maybe he should know that thorium has nothing to do with fusion :)
And, as a couple people have pointed out, Thorium isn't even used in fusion. This author could stand to do a little more reading on the subject.
Nothing like fusing Thorium into some ??? 462
Everyone knows you fuse Th-232 with Ni-62 to make Uuo-294
Unobtainium is almost within reach!
