The only thing preventing us (US) today from having nuclear powered locomotives, ships, and possibly even Semis is irrational fear of radiation hazards. I can remember in the 50s when one of the first US nuclear power plants was being built in Elk River, Minnesota, people feared having that “nuclear electricity” pumped into their houses. It’s almost as bad today when discussing technology such as this that Perry is showcasing.
“Nuclear electricity,” thats pretty silly. I think we all know better now but, how do we deal with all the giant ants and 50 foot women?
