Can a thyristor be used as a solid state alternative to a car starter motor solenoid switch.?

Usual drain is 300 - 700 amps
Also the solenoid often engages the starter gear to the flywheel ring gear so a solution would have to be sought to sort that out.

Sep 25, 2011 from blinker1315(Russ Smith) in Politics
The Washington Post's Dana Milbank is the only one of the President’s cheerleaders to date, so far as I am aware,\ to acknowledge that his brave words about taxing the rich and standing firm against benefit cuts amount to nothing but fantasy.
