Electric motors connected to wires built into the roadway are the way
to go. *It was how streetcars worked in the 20s, it is how trams and
trains throughout Europe work today, and it is something that competes
against autos today and back in the 1920s.

That's why the oil and auto companies colluded to destroy the
streetcar companies and replace them with cars and gas stations.

If this hadn't happened we'd already have trams superior to that of
Europe *- and we wouldn't be so dependent on oil or automobiles

We also would have migrated naturally to powered roadways using more
modern methods developed in the 50s and 60s

Here are some more modern implementation plans;

And still, your audience is next to zilch.

"Electric motors connected to wires built into the roadway are the way

Anything is possible, but you've got to be kidding. There's not a
sufficient national grid as is, and roads are dug up and/or dug into
so frequently that at most any time 10% of city roads would be without
live wires to carry the juce.
