Thorium could be anyway a better choice than other non renewable sources, as backup in a system using mainly renewable but not constant sources. Obviously hydro, where viable, is better, but its viability as main source or main backup one depends on having a good amount of mountain waters and power needs not too high, it's perfect in countries with many mountains and not overpopulated.
And maybe the most important thing: whatever energy sources we choose, energy efficiency is of the essence.
High efficiency, for example, can make 2nd generation biofuels a viable solution for private transport, without high efficiency it cannot be. High efficiency doesn't just consist in the vehicle efficiency, but using the right vehicle for the purpose, that is, using a citycar, not a SUV, to carry few people and things for short distances and in urban areas.
