The big thing here is in theory we could put something like a nuclear plant(which people are afraid of) in a remote area and produce fuels we are already equipped to use from that pretty major energy source.
Combine that with Solar storage and geo-thermal storage using that and maybe we will continue to have enough movable energy to have long distance travel that isn't wind driven.

Thw whole advantage of nuclear over renewables is it's reliability for powering critical infrastructure If you are producing fuels, they can be stored, reliability doesn't matter - only cost.
