Why???????

I bet that sucker costs more energy per mile than a gas engine...

And when one of those tanks is breached in an accident, you have a rocket....... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I'm sure the energy cost is more expensive now. Prototypes always are. You don't get true effeciency until it can be produced in large quantites.

Its total energy cost is *way* lower then the current crop of gas-electric hybrids or EVs. No batteries to make or have to dispose of.

If they can make the tanks crash safe, I think it is a wonderful idea.
