Are you kidding? He's the perfect Republican. Subsidies for big oil and auto manufacturers, tax cuts for people making more than $250,000, relaxation of smog standards. You should love him.

I answered "support" with the following caveats:

1. It needs to be a safer design than the old 50 year old designs we have now. Something self-regulating, like pebble bed.

I have a 140 mile commute with a 4,675 foot elevation change, and I have to use 4WD about a dozen times a year as well. The rest of the times, I stick with a car that gets twice the mileage.
