re: #108 Targetpractice

Case in point, the endless predictions of the 50s that nuclear power would be widespread and replace much of the common forms of energy generation. Hell, the Big Three each looked at the idea of introducing nuclear power to automobiles, such that Ford built a mock-up and told the press about the idea of swapping out reactors whenever they needed refueling or had issues.

Chrysler built a gas turbine car back in about 1963 that actually worked. They made a number of them as prototypes, but cool as the idea seemed, it didn’t work all that well as an actual car.
