@AJ The purpose of electric is to reduce emissions, but they don't even do that really so they are kinda pointless.

Electric cars are only great in the countries that do produce their energy in a carbon negative manner

like sweden

def. not the US

Nuclear is the way to go imo

Even then, the cars themselves being created is bad for the environment

Lithium batteries are hell to produce

Yea it is sometimes a bit better but not significantly

If we could generate the energy by nuclear power

And, unlike a gas car, in 10 years it wont have created less emissions then getting a new car, cause itll need another battery pack

@Phantom _Energy Electric cars get energy from coal and are made at factories that produce emissions that use minerals that you have to mine.

Personally, I believe the future lies in biodiesel

it would be a different situation

@AJ I think it lies in nuclear power

Me too

It's not perfect

but the best we've got

@Smitty I think they have the potential too reduce emissions, but I think the real benefit is that no matter where you are (as long as you are prepared) there are always ways of generating electron flow; however, finding gasoline in the middle of nowhere is hard.

Well, the worst part is, nuclear is very unstable in an automobile application

Electricity lines

shoukd be renewed

So its either use the same batterys and use electricity generated by nuclear, or have a reactor in car

The latter isnt safe at all

short term high cost but otherwise we won't have cars even in 40 years

@Phantom _Energy Yeah, but they reduce emission so little that there is barely any difference.

No there shozldn't be a reactor inside the car

@Smitty I agree

It's not possible to build such a small reactor anyways

The reason I say biodiesel is because we already have alot of vehicles running diesel, and biodiesel is completely sustainable

@Smitty I just think they are more versatile in how they can be powered.

If we could use the energy of nuclear reactors togenerate hydrogen from water , then we could use hydrogen as a fuel

@[daddy]Adika He wasn't saying that. He was trying to say that the electricity would be powered by nuclear

I see

Awe dang. No fallout cars 😦

You might not be able to put a nuclear reactor in a car, but you can use the electricity generated from a nuclear power plant to power an electric car.

Yes, but then you still have the battery issue

Ye. I always say nuclear power is the future. But people too scared of it. Cause Chernobyl and whatnot.

Lithium batteries are awful for the environment to produce, and they don't last

Or use Nikola Tesla's idea of distributing power wirelessly using tesla coils.

@DJ Sullivan J.D Well, Chernobyl was created because they didn't have enough security, and the workers weren't properly trained.

Eh, then all the rural areas get fukt
