as for a power plant, how about one of JETs corn burning furnaces modified to boil water with the corn.

a cost effective method of transportation, not really a DSM anymore, but it will look and feel somewhat similiar
Not impossible but would cost way more than what it is worth.

I had a doctor come into work today with an electric 1997 s-10. He payed like 17,000 for it last year. I have always heard of them but never seen one in person. His other vehicle is an 02 F-250, go figure.
