The next generation nuclear power plants such as the Fast-neutron reactors may change everything

Expensive to build but can make a lot of electric power with low waste

An electric car appeals to me about as much as an electric chair.
It's one thing to claim the numbers based on ideal conditions but when it's cold, raining and dark that electric cars range goes down. If i'm running low on gas I can pull into any gas station. I won't need to get a hotel for the night because there are people ahead of me at the charging station which takes an hour or more each car.

What happens when there is a big power outage like a windstorm? Power is out for weeks...

Certainly one needs to plan any trip in an electric car... no spur of the moment "Well I have never taken this route before" trips across the vast open plains the way I like to do.

This video should be required viewing for those wanting to get an electric car.

It either nuclear or fossil fuels. Or less available power/electricity.
