Of course everyone's first thought is, "What happens in a crash?"

Probably a lot safer to have the reactor in the garage, and use it to charge the car at night.

Of course that still leaves the problem of making batteries, which we still have no way to do on a large scale, and the minerals needed to produce them can't be mined fast enough, and probably don't exist in even a fraction of the quantity needed.

Gasoline is the way to go for the foreseeable future. Perhaps in 50 years someone will have developed a solution.

FOR SURE ethanol isn't it. It INCREASES petroleum use and instead of reducing it.
