    Big feckin' deal, top speed isn't even over 100. With low gearing like that, 3.7 seconds isn't that impressive.

    I would just sell them all and get a car I don't have to build... What do you figure 6800 x 100.00 a battery... Can you say McLarenF1? $10 a battery (10x6800)... thats a Porsche. Some people have too much time on their hands like me

    >What about the huge greenhouse gas potential created by the constant release of hydrogen into the atmosphere?

    What the HELL are you talking about?

    Saying CO2 is causing greenhouse gasses is bad enough.

    Hydrogen? That's just plain old bullshit.

    >Recall that in the 1950's nuclear energy was advertised to be not only clean and safe, but as a source of unlimited free energy.

    And it still is. Nothing has changed. The nuclear power plants that went loco were poorly managed to the point of insanity.

    Find me a CANDU reactor that's a danger, and I'll show you a liar.

    BTW: All the world's plutonium output from those CANDU reactors will fit in a few football fields, IIRC. And that's all of it. If it keeps you eco-bullshitters happy, I bet Canada will give you the north pole for it.
