Why don't we hear more about thorium reactors?

Any time you get involved in commercial, billion $ development
projects, businesses get REAL hesitant to do ANYTHING different
than what has already been done. There are a HOST of better, PROVEN
designs out there, mostly gas cooled variations, than the standard
US pressurized water reactor, but nobody is even talking about
such in the US.
