Chances are it wasn't worth the salvage effort due to rust.

OK, first your graphic is from Intel Hub?...you might as well be pulling it from Godlike productions in that case so I will have to dismiss that.
yet again.....they tested the boat....it was NOT radioactive....and again we don't predominantly get weather or wind patterns from Japan.
And lastly.....there has been NO notable increase in radiation in Alaska and the surrounding areas,
A long time friend of mine is a deckhand on a tug out of SE Alaska. He follows such things closely due to his trade....The boat was not radioactive......it was a rust heap......but not radioactive.
This would explain WHY it wasn't irradiated....

ok, you cannot blame the ENTIRE energy industry, just because a power company in japan thought it would be a good idea to build a nuke power plant on the coastal side of the island facing a giant fault line.
Thorium cannot be weaponized, and its half-life is shorter than uranium and plutonium.
think of the impact on the food market if we started using spinach and any other type of food as fuel.
and we would also probably import the spinach anyway. which means that eventually supply and demand, not including the seasonal cycle of this "fuel" would drive spinach up to $100-115 a bushel
