A nuclear-powered truck with a RBMK-type (think Davy Crockett) reactor (with the right economics of scale) might be so cheap to make, it would be more competitive than a gas-powered truck over its entire lifespan. But it wouldn't be environmental. Can't I make the same argument regarding gas/diesel cars?
