Why can’t steam powered cars work?

1.74K 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?

What are you going to use to power it?

wood, coal, etc

They are low power and not terribly practical. The wiki is a good read.
