Default Water injection


Nuke plants driving the grid, charging electric cars, would be a great
solution for many drivers to consider. If it was available. Instead
we're polluting the air and consuming more oil.


It IS available today. The problem is it's a little more expensive than
traditional methods. Or, if you need extreme range (250 miles) it's a lot
more expensive than a gasoline car.

A small electric car has around a 100 mile range at around 60 miles per
hour. That is enough to handle a large percentage of all commutes.
Expect to see one like that cost around $20,000. That's a bit pricey for an
economy car, but most people could afford it if they wanted to.


There are electric cars available that can go for 250 miles between charges,
but be ready to spend some money for those. Around $250,000.

These cars can't be bought at your local car lot yet, but they can be
bought. If more people were willing to spend the extra money, it wouldn't be
long before you could buy one locally.
