Private entities won't touch it and it's difficult for governments to invest.

Not Thorium, but Bill Gates is invested in alternative nuclear, along with the US govt: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TerraPower

Yes, thorium. And everything else. Gates put $35M into it, which is peanuts. In order to transform Nuclear the R&D will have to be in the order of billions.

Drug companies can put more than that into a single failed drug, for comparison.
