the Chevy Volt (and other "plug-in" cars)
Dimmukane:
In the vein of things that could power your car when it's plugged into the wall...I present a probable hoax.
In regards to solar power, panels are getting cheaper and cheaper to produce, and a way to store solar power has been found (whether or not it's economically viable remains to be seen).
And as far as nuclear plants go, I don't see why we can't just put them in somewhat remote/uninhabited locations...there's tons of deserts and plains around the world we could stick one on the edge of (so as not to create an upheaval in the local ecosystems).
nobo:
There is no real way to store energy. Even capacitors and flywheels are terribly inefficient.
When it comes to the desert, thats an ecosystem all to itself.and most deserts are pretty remote, and transporting that energy over large distances isn't very efficient.
