Anyone claiming this is currently possible or feasible is moron of the highest order.
I wouldn't say of the highest order, but it's not CURRENTLY possible. I don't think anyone is saying let's stop using fossil fuels to generate electricity this afternoon.
But to generate electricity you basically just have to rotate a magnetic field inside of a coil. There are a multitude of ways to do that, commonly steam turbines are used. There are even many ways to generate steam - utilization of the heat generated by nuclear fission, or utilization of geothermal energy, are two examples. Undoubtedly the future will reveal other methods of either rotating the magnetic field, or of generating steam.

What the frick are you babbling about?
This Buck Rogers future of yours is a long ways off.
Fossil fuels in modern engines are incredibly efficient and clean burning.
Until you can slap a Mr. Fusion on your flying Delorean it’s the best option we have now.
As far as “energy independence” we have the means to do that already but the policy makers want to make winners and losers instead.
