That doesn't make any sense.<br /><br />But the environmentalists won't go for nuclear power.

Gen Sherman understood the effect.<br /><br />On the EV topic,cnet.com published the following last Monday:<br /><br />"Because we're still in the relatively early days of electric cars, it's still challenging to predict just how long a battery pack will last in a given vehicle, especially when you consider the almost infinite variables that go into determining that life.
