If we were to switch the majority of our electrical power production to nuclear fission, and add more capacity, we could use the off peak capacity to create hydrogen for the next generation vehicles, and power plug-in hybrids. That would also free up large amounts of natural gas now used to produce electricity. That natural gas could be used to power retrofitted vehicles from the existing fleet. Trust me, if natural gas became much cheaper than gas and diesel, many local truck fleets, for example, would jump at converting.

Hmmm, big reduction in greenhouse emissions, nobody fighting and dying for oil, a distinct loss of income to terrorist states… sign me up!

Where are our environmental and political leaders???? Too invested in the major oil companies? Or too invested in keeping the global warming crisis going – the one they created when they villified nuculear power?
