I have no idea if molten salt reactors are as awesome as this website represents them to be, but I thought the following point was interesting:

"light water reactors can use only about 4% of their available energy."

They're comparing with 1960s reactors designs, so maybe more modern water reactors are more efficient. But, it's still amazing to me that there's that much more energy that we could potentially harness from the fuel.
