Remember when we first figured out how to do this and everyone though that by the 2020s we’d be running nuclear powered cars and vacuum cleaners and shit?
Yeah me neither cause I wasn’t born yet but still, why couldn’t I have been born into that world
I get the sentiment but you definitely don’t want nuclear powered vacuum cleaners.

As long as it’s a Miele and not a fucking Dyson
Honestly it’s kind of a ridiculous concept. It’s way more efficient to have one big plant generating power and then send that power to all the location it’s needed then have a million tiny engines everywhere. That’s why cars are so damn inefficient.
Early train engineers figured this out, before widespread use of electricity they were trying to make trains that were driven by long vacuum tubes powered by one big pump station cuz that was more efficient (on paper at least) than having a big fuck off steam engine dragging around all it’s own water and coal.
So have one big nuke power plant and then just have all the cars run off pantographs.
