Thorium is a bad product indeed. Weaker than Uranium in radioactivity, but still bad.

Thorium is a also side product from mining that can better be used safely ((!), instead of sitting around as garbage.

My preference goes to fusion based on electrical currents. From experiments we can see that electrical currents or strong electromagnetic fields can assist in nuclear reactions. But we have little experience in how this works.
It can also help in transforming radioactive waste towards less dangerous substances.

There are some project working on it:
