Broadcast Power
We use chemical energy to make vehicles move, we store a lot of that energy in the vehicles. We generate electricity and put it on a grid to be distributed through power lines. There is another way that is theoretically possible and that is to broadcast power, similar to broadcast communications but sending power instead of signals.
Tesla was working on broadcast power but was not able to develope broadcast power. Tesla had a lot of criticism that reduced funding and others have not been able to reproduce his broadcast power experiments; the result was that no one thinks that broadcast power is possible or practical.
What broadcast power would do is eliminate the need to store fuel in tanks to make a vehicle move. The vehicle would require less energy to move without having to move the weight of fuel as well. Home power would not need electrical lines because the appliances could run off broadcast power.
Assuming broadcast power can be done, it would probably use the same sources of energy we use now, including nuclear. It may be worth studying to see if broadcast power is possible and whether it is practical. It could also be more efficient for global energy use.
