    how about nuclear-powered cars? so I can drive 1 year on 1 tank… or 5 years on my motorcycle… too bad they are so focused on weapons.

      They’ve tried it. It’s too dangerous to have that much nuclear material running around. Not only does it make sourcing for a dirty bomb very easy, but it’s also a question of disposal, and how to contain it in a collision.

        maybe I could be the only one owning one… problem solved. I think the containment in case of collision probably could be solve 90% of the time…
