@CADmonkey

I was looking towards tech geniuses to solve the power problem. Solar is a nice idea but with so many cars not hardly ever in the sun, I doubt it would be the option of choice.

Check out the YouTube "Dark Energy - A String Theory Way" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epk-SMXbu1c and tell me what's wrong with it.

@Umbrias

The idea is the same as an EV, with the plutonium continuously charging a super battery that runs the car.

You're right - the cost has to come down. That happened during the PC development, and we need similar tech geniuses for this.

Plutonium-238 can't be made into a bomb, but any radioactive material is decently dangerous. Where are those tech geniuses?

Got a better idea? The climate won't wait.

@swab148
I think it's basically the same, but you gotta get the mechanical energy from somewhere and I suggest this plutonium isotope is the place.

Why can't this work:

NASA uses plutonium-238 to generate electricity for satellites in its deep space missions. Using this general approach, can a car battery be continuously charged and that battery used to power a car? Sure, new tech would have to be developed, but is this idea impossible?
