Thanks Kathy, but isn't that final report almost 8 years old based on 11 year old information? Don't know if it improved but think of what emergency management was 10 years ago versus today.
What I was looking for was something authoritative to say PGV is safe or isn't safe. So far, what I've read against PGV is more "laboratory" sheepskin science versus facts and actual science. Likewise what I'm reading in favor of PGV is the danger isn't really there, but it doesn't say it's not there just that they don't see it as feasibly happening. Maybe this is just one of those Prius situations: Is it better for the environment because it get outstanding fuel mileage and has low emissions, or is it worse for the environment because if the battery pack every breaks open in an accident you have a serious toxic hazmat situation on your hands?
