I actually think this is pretty good, but for other reasons. Because of danger, regulations and plain fear, we can't make a nuclear car engine. It's a very good idea, but the whole 50's fucked it up for at least the next 100 or more years. We could power a bus for a year with an incredibly minuscule spec of material, and we have the tech to get it right at this very moment, but for all the stated reasons and some others (political and all other greedy reasons), it just won't be pushed. So say we can't put nuclear power in a car, but at least we can put some of that power into some fuel, previously thought as non-renewable. Let them streamline the process a bit more, it is not such a bad direction.
You know, here's a question, how hard would it be to build a mini nuclear reactor in your back yard safely?
Is it possible to build/set it up so that the authorities never figure out what's going on?
Seems like something is possible:
