    Soon they will have little mini reactor powered trucks. Run for hundreds of years with no refueling.

    Probably couldn't make it work at that time. Plus it's GM, since when are they known for their engineering prowess lol.

    Don't get me going on GM,vs Ford, vs Dodge. You already know which one has the lowest price of ownership, repairs, and parts.

    I know which one wouldn't be here if not for a government handout. So yea, probably not the best people to have playing with uranium. Do you have another point you'd like to try and make?

    History tells us all the big three have taken money from big brother. But really tax payer pockets. It's not a new thing

    As long as there is fossil fuel, it won't be an issue. We won't we see it, at least I won't. Grandchildren might.
