And that's using only 4% of the fuel. Using the rest would increase the energy by 30x. 30 tonnes of coal!

So.... when is some smarter engineering team going to develop a safe civilian vehicle(s) that are fueled by a few pellets (or a small fuel rod) instead of petrol/gasoline? Is it possible/plausable?
