| 0-60 is a measure of acceleration, which you seem to have missed somehow.
The top speed is 90mph. The only road I have heard of where there is regular travel above 90mph is the Autoban in Germany.
Also, where did you get the idea that nuke plants generate a large amount of emissions? Also, why do you keep hammering on this stupid point that has been addressed. The goal is to lessen emissions. Do you argue that gasoline run cars generate less emissions than fully electric cars running on electricity generated from say, a nuke plant? Or a hydro dam?
In any case, there are a wide variety of ways to generate large amounts of electricity without coal or gas plants. In fact, I don't think I have ever heard of gasoline being used to generate large amounts of electricity, that would be horribly inefficient. Point of evidence, I can't remember if it is Greenland or Iceland but their whole country runs on a geothermal grid. Large amounts of energy can be generated in many ways, though nuclear power is one of those I think is the cleanest and safest myself.
I think hippies have done more damage to the environment than many other factors just by keeping ancient coal firing plants active because they keep protesting nuke plants. | |

I think you missed my repetitively mentioning that no one ever goes the speed limit on the NJTP, ever. So topping at 90, is not a good idea, typical speed is around 80, not much leeway there.
Nuke plants produce nuclear waste, But i never said they produce emissions. And YES there are gasoline cars that produce less emissions then a hybrids. How can a car powered by electricity have no emissions? How did the power get there ? There was no electric plant involved. It like saying the theater produced a movie ? duh

There are no power plants being built currently. They're all on hold and if they're even built and operational won't be for another 5+ years.
