Peace be on you. What are latest progress and possible availability-to-public, in Nuclear / Thorium Cars - Solar Cars -- Electric Cars -- Hybrid Cars?
Are delays technical or political?
Thanks.
Nice way to lump vaporware and real technology into the same question. Why do you ask?
Does ANY thorium power plant exist, anywhere outside of an experimental lab???
Nevah hoid o' it.
Something got missed somewhere. It would not be a nuclear powered car. Instead.....
Large Thorium cycle nuclear reactor produces vast quantities of hydrogen gas. Far more than can be produced today. These reactors also produce electricity.
Hydrogen gas is then used to power a car fitted with a fuel cell.
Both are established technologies. It's just a matter of building it.
(there has never been a serious attempt beyond say the Ford Nucleon, to directly power a car by nuclear means)

Drivers can't be trusted to dispense their own gas without starting a fire at the pump, would you really trust them driving around something whose fuel source is the equivalent of a WMD?
