Thorium: Pacific Nuclear Clean Energy.

Disruptive innovations or disruptive technologies are hard to adopt because they cause the ruin of what they render obsolete. The costs of switching from one platform to another (from Uranium to Thorium, see under-secretary of energy Peter Lyons at 21:00), plus the natural instinct of survival of bureaucracies (they prefer to self-annihilate than to self-renovate) make the adoption of Thorium and the replacement of Uranium for pacific energy purposes a most difficult, if not impossible, task.
As John Kutsch and Kirk Sorensen imply, some company or some government is going to sink its teeth into cheap, omni available Thorium and start the next revolution in nuclear energy. The benefits seem so obvious that it make you wonder why are we being so slow in adopting a different type of nuclear energy, based in fluid rather than solid fuel, clean, eco-friendly and low cost, Thorium.
