Using solar (or other carbon neutral energy sources) to make liquid fuel would probably be of great benefit for a couple of decades at least. Instead of everyone needing to replace their working cars with new electric ones, we can use hydrocarbons as energy storage. This will probably always be more expensive than oil, but where I live more than 60% of the final price is tax, so there's room for politicians to steer consumers towards carbon neutral sources if they became an option. Then there's airplanes, old classic cars, race cars, etc.
