It's a good idea because it will greatly cut the amount of fuel to be carried and thus speed up deployment of large scale expeditionary forces.
Think of days when electricity-to-fuel will be able to also produce liquid fuel for tanks, jets etc. to operate, then moving large masses of armor deeply into the enemy territory will become a no-brainer to such a point that territorial depth will cease to be a viable protection!

If enemy starts using nukes, not having to carry too much liquid fuel all the way will help a lot. And it makes the most of the supplies army has to transport, with proportion increasing because say, need for ammunition decreases as shells get smarter, but better protected tanks and APCs weight more and thus need more fuel.
