Oh I'm not so against EV, I'm just being pro-nuke as I personally always has been. Honestly I don't get why some sort of EV supremacy theory has to be defended at all costs. Those are just facts that density and recyclability of Li-ion is just atrocious. Gasoline particles tho NOx bad for health yeah I get that part.

Seriously, if we could just build 2-3 air-cooled Plutonium fission per each megalopolis core and use e-Fuel on existing hybrids we'd solve everything in modern society ever. The reactor could double as cityscale thermojet ventilation system as well, eliminating heat and atmosphere problems once and for all. It will of course work as a training exercise for coming real Space Age in which humanity builds bunches after bunches of cylindrical habitats fabricated and populated in space. The only two roadblocks towards that path are some NIMBYism/NPT fears and cost.

Fair enough! I’m just on board with the electric ground transportation thing.

I’m very happy for there to be really nice and safe fission reactors everywhere for grid scale generation. Including efuel generators for air and space transportation.
