Wind power. Put huge sails next to the roads.
If the wind is not going the right direction just add huge fans.
Done and done.
Shutting down loses power steering and servo brakes - better to go into Limp mode.

eating corn from magic buckets, which are always full no matter how much has been eaten. The power to make this happen is taken from the "big crunch" at the end of the universe.
It's a damn good basis for one thought, the film could always add and adjust.
Fertiliser, not pollution.
You remind me of the guy I sold my wind turbine to. He probably has the only place you can get meaningful power from those stupid things, a yacht.
A genuine quote from Boris Johnson before he became prime minister: "It comes from the plug".

But the point is it can be generated by clean fuels like nuclear/wind/solar/hydro, and any pollution is not right next to the user.

Was he devilishly handsome, too?
I can't remember, I was looking at the money in his hand. He very nearly didn't get it as I almost fell off the ladder getting it down and was about to drop it before the weight pulled me to one side, but I just managed to grab the roof. I'd forgotten it was that heavy.

I would imagine it would have to be made fairly sturdy to not break in heavier winds.
they come in a kit they're made out of metal and they're heavy , haven't you seen farm houses with windmills somewhere on the property
It was quite clever with winds. It could freewheel to stop the generator overheating, it could also short the generator to slow it right down.
They're probably bigger than what I had.

I assume he meant a more modern wind turbine.
But there is a fake / decorative windmill near me that got destroyed in a heavy wind some time back.
the metal ones are new and they will fall if they're not installed well lots of guys here have ponds for live stock and they need , to keep the ponds aerated in winter so the cows can drink

Makes sense.
