Regardless of that, the case for electric powered vehicles is more
around avoiding pollution at the point of use than avoiding pollution
altogether, unless like say France you mainly get your power from
nuclear.


The point of use is in the congested cities.

In the railway's case it's about what might be providing power well
into the future, though, given the long lead times for such thing, and
about cost saving overall and reliability to some extent.


Time to look at Pebble Bed reactors and Borium. *The science has moved

My mistake "borium" should read "thorium". Bit early in the day for
this stuff.
