Something interesting is going on in Virginia. They are talking of charging people that own fuel efficient vehicles a fixed fee that replaces the gas tax that is paid by other motorists. I would not be surprised to see the states charge people who generate their own power if it begins to harm to power companies or causes the bills of other customers to rise too far.

Why not drive the car directly with the steam engine (turbine?), then you save on the cost (and weight, and volume) of the batteries. I realize that this probably implies a higher power reactor than you were planning on, however you might also consider a lower powered car. Even if it only has enough power to crawl along slowly, it will make a serious point, and everyone will realize that it can be improved upon. It has one other advantage. If there is no other power source on board than the reactor itself, you can't be accused of "cheating". Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
