The Orion nuclear drive blasted its steel pusher plate with thousands of superheated jets of plasma.
And yet, each blast only heated the plate by 0.07°C.
500 pulses, enough for an Earth-Mars trip, would only heat it up to 35°C, warm enough to touch.

Flying cities that rise above a future Earth enveloped in toxic, sun-blocking clouds and covered in radioactive wastes.
Surely a more efficient 9though less scenic) way could have been developed to solve this problem?

There's also an important caveat to such analyses: solutions which work for a wealthy country that can push its population to pay for a BEV and expand its grid might not work for the majority of other countries that can afford neither. Synthfuel slots into existing infrastructure
