As you sit in the gas line or are looking for a station with gas, DON"T
you wish your car was powered by on of the small nuclear reactor like
those they have use to power satellites for decades?

I'm not sure I want to be driving around on several pounds of
plutonium.


Yes but they do want you driving around with a load of Lithium. Safer
by a pretty good margin but.


That's not the worst problem with lithium. The fires are pretty bad
but if the lefties (i.e. communists) really cared about the
environment, they'd look into the mining operations. Electric cars
are NOT clean.


I have probably mentioned this here before. One of the car magazines
did a study comparing a Hummer to a Prius, many years ago.

From the beginning of manufacture, through the life of the vehicle, and
finally to disposal, the Prius was worse for the environment.
