>>>Uranium isn't currently able to substitute for oil in that use.<<< It's doing that right now in France, which gets 70% of its electricity from nuclear plants and runs most of its trains on electricity, as well as other public transit like the Paris Metro. Right now, a few people are adding extra batteries to the Prius, charging them at home, and getting up to 100 miles of gasoline-free travel out of the car for local driving. The entire rail system in the United States could be converted to electric power. If there were not such a prejudice against nuclear power, nuclear-driven locomotives could certainly be built. Innovations in battery technology are accelerating. Unfortunately the politicians in power in the United States see everything in terms of political and military solutions or fairy-tale technology such as hydrogen power. Our politicians are intelligent at getting themselves elected and mostly very stupid about everything else.
