Since the population of Harrisburg, PA is roughly 50,000, or would have been had the city not had every man, woman, child, hermaphodite, cat, dog and gold fish wiped out by the 1979 Three Mile Island accident, the automobile death toll is "only" roughly the equivalent of killing 60% of Harrisburg each year.

I, for one, am relieved, especially as so many anti-nukes here who worry incessantly about "dangerous nuclear power" are spending so much time talking about their theoretical solar powered and wind powered electrical cars which could work, although for as long as I've been here, 8 years, none of these optimistic predictions have panned out despite great enthusiasm and many thousands of energy consuming threads about them.

I'm sure that our saftey minded renewable car advocates can show readily that solar powered cars - should they exist someday - will be much safer than modern cars, which "only" killed 60% of a Harrisburg in 2008.

Driving a car of course is much safer than having a tritium atom decay every hour or so in some water in the Marianas trench.
