diesel electric . But the zero tolerance fossil fuel crowd wants all electric or nothing, even though the whole logistical train to manufacture EV’s involves diesel .

“diesel electric”

Yes this! Been working for trains for over 60 years. Very efficient. All the benefits of electric - high torque and great acceleration - with all the benefits of diesel - relatively cheap, constant recharge and quick refueling.

How about pulverized coal reciprocating/electric?

Just because we can and it has been done before.
