Fukushima - let's see if this makes sense. We design a nuclear reactor 20 years after the first one is created in Chicago. We don't update it or incorporate it for any new safety features that are developed in the next 50 years and then wonder what happened when it failed. That's like driving a 1910s car in the 1960s and wondering why it doesn't perform the same. There has been a lot of knowledge gained in the last 60 years - why don't we use it? Thank you Greenpeace et al.

Regarding Telsas - I drove my neighbor's - I liked it. I considered buying one but I got the opportunity to buy a 2016 991 GTS Club Coupe. Guess which one I bought. Regarding regenerative braking - according to my neighbor it is adjustable - you can program how invasive you want it to be. BTW, in the mid-80s I drove an electric car down the expressway at 70mph. That person's car was a design project for himself and a major Japanese automaker. It's all a matter of batteries. Mark
