Liberals hate nuclear because it’s clean and effective. The regulation war on nuclear and fear mongering leftists and Hollywood did to push “renewable” energy was an eye opener for a lot of normies. The Simpsons was intentional propaganda that was wildly effective in poisoning perception of nuclear energy, same as a lot of 90s era shows.
I was rewatching the 2003 Ninja Turtles recently and was struck by Donatello dissing nuclear power in one episode. It was so heavy handed and uncompromising. Gave me real "the science is settled" vibes.
Electric cars suffer from an extreme weakness: exceptionally volatile batteries. Until that is fixed, EVs shouldn't ever become a mainstay, because they are simply more dangerous to drive than normal combustion engines.
You get in a car wreck with an EV, you genuinely risk the damn thing exploding, especially if its raining.
Even if they fix that, there is still the problem of batteries having a short usable life and cost more than the rest of the car. EVs are five to six figure disposable items because of it. An ICE car will run for a century if you maintain it.
Well, a car made a decade ago, yes. Most American cars made today have serious issues. Hell, Chevy has a engine whose average mileage between catastrophic failures is less than 10k miles.
I mean, that’s not a complete impossibility but is not very likely given our current understanding and usage of nuclear power. Ideally there is a future where you could have self-sustaining cars fueled by nuclear energy given the right advancements.
We should be looking into nuclear by now. Electric cars are a little more sensible when you’re actually producing cleaner energy to keep them charged

For a moment I thought you meant the nuclear cars like in Fallout.

We're way past 2015. Where's my Mr. Fusion?
The Ford Nucleon needs to make a comeback.
