I, for one, am looking forward to seeing that happen. If a USN aircraft carrier supporting 5000 people--- a city--- only needs to refuel every 20 years, a car with nuclear energy powering it ought to be able to run right past every Chevron, Shell, and Valero for longer than the the wheel bearings, transmission, or headliner lasts!
