I wonder. We lost the Thresher and the Scorpion at sea and never recovered them -- the Thresher torpedoed itself and is leaking -- . We have buried many reactors in Washington State -- a highly polluted burial ground that will cost at least $200 billion and 20 years to clean up. The leaking tanks will soon contaminate the Columbia River and light up the salmon. We have a bunch of leaking submarines in Pearl Harbor, but the navy says not to worry.

Lather, electric cars are much more efficient than ICE (internal combustion engines) cars so that even with line losses we are still ahead of the game with pollution. If we charge them when demand is low then we are way ahead of the game because those generators must turn all night anyway. Also you are looking at coal plants feeding the electrics, which is the worst case, as far as pollution goes. The sheer volume of cars makes them much worse than nuclear plants. I'm convinced that we must do something soon. The answer is fuel cell hybrids. Del
