you said: "Thorium has the potential power and can be the solution but it cannot not be implemented today or in the near future."
"Doing nothing and waiting for something to happen, that is a waste of time." thats the question because india already implemented and why philippines cant and doing nothing and waiting for something to happen? see the tables of the link below why solar is a completely waste of time because of low efficiency and taking a lot of space compare to other sources of energy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_power_plants_in_the_Philippines fooler.
