They are designed to be recycled, so I can see why you would want to put that aside.  Oh, and lots of people (and municipalities) already happily drive them.


Nuclear is certainly NOT the only "green" technology, and in fact, is not a true green technology because of the issue of where to stor the toxic nuclear waste.  Other green technologies that are actually green include solar, hydroelectric (though it has over environmental concerns), and wind power.
