a) can't produce hydrocarbons for use in the vehicles on the road today

b) require an immense amount of hydrocarbons as energy input purely in the creation and maintenance of (heavy machinery, et al)

c) requires uranium as feed stock which is not what you might call a 'common element', the processing of which requires a lot of energy input as well. Uranium (and its decay products) won't last forever either.

Now if you're advocating that everyone switch over to electric cars and backhoes and so forth and that we all live in an electric world... well, it's a nice dream, but the political environment to make such a change is nonexistant aside from the tinfoily-er corners of society.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not opposed to the continued development of nuke plants at all... but to think that dropping nukes all across the planet to replace hydrocarbons is not very plausable.
