A neat trick would be to use the energy released by a landing plane to power the taxi system. Bit impractical to implement. Would need arrestor wires or something similar to recover the energy.... but it would also save fuel used on reverse thrust etc. Once captured by a cable system it could be towed to the stand. Way too expensive to impliment though.
