I heard someone say that to run all the cars in the US on electricity would require building a new nuclear power plant something like every week for the next 10 or 15 years. Is this true? I think this is completely unacceptable. The risks of nuclear accident are too great. The competence required to safely operate nuclear power plants is a limited and possibly dwindling resource.
