But hemp, which is said to be way more efficient than either one, is illegal to cultivate in most places with growing biofuel economies.

To others, it's a recipe for disaster, either by accident, like the Three Mile Island disaster of 1979, or by design, if (or when) nuclear fuel gets into the wrong hands.
