Why can’t steam powered cars work?

1.73K views

It seems too obvious to be a solution, but why did we give up on steam power? I believe nuclear power plants essentially work by generating steam, could this model be used in a car? Does steam not provide enough force to move the water and its container?

*Every* power plant that involves some form of heat source – be it nuclear, coal or geothermal – uses steam turbines to turn that heat into electric energy.
