Electric-powered steam engines?
#3
Rob, one real source of "green" energy is of course, solar. but I can't image how big those panels would have to be to generate enough electric power to constantly turn water into steam at the rate of about 100 to 200 gallons per mile. and how big the heater would be to do that. Plus now you're adding weight to your load.

One might just try nuclear,. If it can power a submarine, it could work without the electric heater.

Interesting concept though.
