Then we can go to lots of electric cars.

Oops, that’s after we improve our grid.


If all electric ever happens, then, there will need to be a 'grid' of different sorts for charging/recharging electric vehicles. Something like, gas stations with the capabilities of recharging EVs quickly, and no more than 15 minutes to recharge.

If the business and residential grids were to be tapped for EVs recharges, we'd see humongous problems, especially if most people were to go the way of EVs.

Imagine how useful small-scale nuclear reactors could be for solving those problems though.

I have to admit.... I have been blessed to drive a lot of high-dollar sportscars, some with insane power. The new Tesla is INCREDIBLE.

The performance is stunning and it is the smoothest vehicle imaginable. I am a well reformed “environmentalist” who has spent decades studying the subject and my natural tendency was to hate electric cars because of the politics of the subject and government subsidies, but driving the Tesla completely changed my opinion about those vehicles.

From a pure performance metric minus the issue of “range” they are a winner.
