Here's an idea:  Re-invest into nuclear energy, get to the point where we can build more smaller reactors.  Gradually shift power grids over to pure nuclear.  Invest in a "tram-like" system whereby vehicles no longer need batteries, because they're constantly connected to the grid in the same way you'd see electric trams connected to overhead wires.<br><br>Probably some reason or other why it wouldn't work, but that's my best shot.,(reply>), @Harley Mitchelly Very fair point.,(reply>), It's a theoretical idea for city centers, and bully on them if they want to, but the real issue is rural drivers. There's no way around the fact there's a lot of asscracks in America where you just plain will not make centralized transport work. I'm still waiting on that Google fiber-optic they said they'd put everywhere over a decade ago or some such. Expecting vast swathes of road to get hooked up to the grid somehow is just too much.
