Uranium One - not 20% of uranium reserves. It's worse.
It was a deal to hand-over 20% the USA's production capacity to Putin.
More to the point:
A deal to hand-over uranium processing technologies, to Putin.
Hillary was masterful at that - finding ways to give USA tech to other countries.
There is energy independence in the form of solar but it's a joke. You can't fundamentally repair those parts or build those products and they break like the next shitty gimmick.
Nuclear power no. Never.
Energy independence was things you had control over. The old furnace like the AGA providing all your heating and some electrics, or your OIL tanks or propane gas storage. And the generator. Easily stored and bought on a number of distribution. Today becoming outlawed for the renewable gimmicks. Needs far more services, when it fails in the weather, or it breaks, you go cold until you're back to learning how to make fire again. But they want to ban your ability to make fire. These guys are telling us we need solar powered camp stoves today because of the emissions. Literally insanity.
Nuclear is not small enough to power automobiles, but you're right Russia was trying to fit onto that behemoth transporter it has got. A Nuclear powered truck of some sort. Dunno if they did? Watched it somewhere. Truck no much bigger. Supposedly trains, dunno how that went either? Don't think it called for it in the end.
The problem with "green" shit is even not a complexity. The problem is that you don't have wind or sun every day, but need energy constantly. "green" shit could somehow work only in small regions of the world, but completely useless as main power source elswhere.
Didn't heard anything about implementation of nuclear powered truck. Beforementioned truck based NPPs was a movable power stations to provide energy in case of emergency for towns and villages, for powering remote locations or for some special needs. They was several behemoth transporters with different modules of powerplant on board that connected on place to create a powerstation with around 1MW electrical power output.
However, Both US and USSR had a projects of cars powered by nuclear reactor - Ford Nucleon and Volga Atom. But that was only concepts without any real attempts to implement them, at least officially.
Never got off the ground those designs.

They patented them, same with the cars. Who knows if they have them, and they are being used to transport the aliens. But I doubt it.
It was like a 18 wheeler caterpillar truck for all terrain. Mainly, ice, tundra, swamp. Maybe they didn't. It was mentioned as a possibility. Nuclear powered, over the diesel. Who knows I am sure I saw it being toyed with as a possibility? It could have even been the yanks. Doubt it. There are other designs for it with the movement of big stuff. But don't think they are there yet, replacing the current methods. Not completely viable costs, efficency, maintenance, and risk.
Interesting projects, thank you. Seems that nuclear power find its way in civilian transportation only on ships.
Yes, increasingly. Sooner.
Flight has been given serious thought as well.
