sounds interesting-how is performance/maintenance? Cars can be transitioned to electric power pretty easily. I just bought a Chevy Volt and over the first thousand miles we've burned less than 7gal of gas.

On the other hand, it might be easier to make magnetic confinement fusion reactions for aircraft, That's a pipe dream. It's doubtful that fusion reactors will ever be practical. We can't even get one to work in the laboratory after 40yrs of trying. > commercially, yet never ever power a city via fusion. in the same sense that 'petrol' is used rarely, for powering the house. Most cars are still internal combustion, rather than electric. It all comes down to affordability, aka money. Cars can be transitioned to electric power pretty easily.
