DBWI: Do you support the "Clean Car" act?

Do you support the house bill that would ban Combustion and Nuclear cars, and would subsidise conversion to Electric? I know the enivironment is a big issue, as is the price of crude oil and uranium ore. But aren't the toxic batteries from the electrics just as bad? Plus it's not like the grid isn't reliant on nuclear and fossil fuels anyway. There are more electrics on the road these days anyway, why not just let the old technologies die of natural causes? And since when are "Hybrids" classified as electrics. They still burn gas, or plutonium going against the entire point of the bill to begin with.

I believe the argument is that while we can dig a hole deep enough to bury the batteries, burying acidifying oceans and a rotting atmosphere is a little more tricky.

OOC: Sadly, nuclear powered cars aren't plausible, for a variety of reasons, and very few people in this country would ever support a full-on banning of combustion motors.....:eek:

Then again, Lithium or Lead-Acid batteries are a lot easier to recycle and dispose of than Uranium or Thorium.
That's just Lead Acid and Lithium. Did you here about the nuclear batteries they're selling now? You couldn't pay me to use of those. I'm terrified I'll catch rad sickness.
