I still want to make lime farms to help combat the famine but hey guess next turn we have a plan somewhat figured out already.

Mind the year. Electric cars aren't either popular or, as far as I'm aware, particularly refined at the moment. Not a terrible idea but probably requiring more ground work and start up than you might be thinking at the moment.
Hell given we're still working on our reactor, don't have solar panels set up, and aren't particularly expanded nationally much less globally we probably also don't even have the resources either.

Gotta start somewhere! Besides, we have no idea how the market is gonna go in this crazy, mixed up world. We need to make smart investments early!
Besides, Lisa would be happy if we did it!

I'm not saying you're wrong, just that it's a lot of work. Though I would say try not to use the uncertainty of markets as an advantage when talking about a potential major resource and income sink, it makes my money sense itch something nasty especially when we have much quicker and debatably effective green energy movements we could make by further working on our reactors or finally making that solar panel we've been sitting on a reality.
Besides that Herbs car business is on the rocks now, it's not exactly in a good position to make a gamble just as we aren't in a good position to actually supply the energy demand as of yet. Really want to make a difference? Put off electric motors for now, we made killer filters to solve the irradiated steel issue. We are primed to make even gas engines relatively emission clear with a modification job.
That'll revitalize Herbs business enough to survive while researching into electric motors and potentially allow us room to start lobbying for new emission regulations for a double dose of green movement and pushing competitors either out of market, into paying us for parts, or setting themselves back with recalls and needing to work on their cars.

Personally, I am not seeing us/Powell Motors managing electric cars any time soon without major prepwork
...say, how much prepwork would my idea of FAllout-style *fusion-powered* cars take?

More. Way, way more.

...still want us to crack Fusion as a whole and switch to it at the Plant ASAP, though

Well, in addition to cracking nuclear fusion, we'd have to miniaturize it, then create vehicles that run off it which don't explode when something goes wrong. Which is a tall order, you understand.
We'll still do that at some point.

Even if you get passed the issues of miniaturizing, further shielding, idiot proofing it, needing even further specialized mechanics, and making it capable of safely traveling and being bumped around a ton at the absolute very least you'd need a massive supply of coolant of which I don't believe water would be actually sufficient in it's cooling powress.
Even if water worked since we'd have to tap the oceans to get a supply that isn't being used for debatably more important things, which leads into all kinds of problems (removal of contaminants, dealing with the all the contaminants (and especially salt), processing facilities, ecological impacts of constantly pumping out water from the ocean, all of the fucking steam being released into the atmosphere). Also probably not terribly profitable given the cost unless we start price gouging and unfortunately I have too many morals for that one (yes I know I was advocating for using inhumane psychological warfare on Dracula in the discord, I am aware of the contrast). It'd probably be an even bigger nightmare than electric vehicles unfortunately.

...yeah, so fusion-powered cars are for *far* later if at all - let´s table it for now, then.
But yeah, lots of stuff for us to do next turn - Build New Ecosystems for the exodus of preds fleeing Zystopia, Infiltrating Zootopia proper to get the lay of the land, Talk with Xanatos to draw some lines in the sand, finally ending Bruns miserable existence as a thorn in our side, get the Zombie situation sorted out, maybe expand our businesses, cracking Fusion...

We also still need to build that spy for Scorpio

The inspector Mona tracked down the spy thing for Scorpio, and maybe the iron claw for finale. So much to do on so limited a time.
