Using synthetic hydrocarbons for energy storage seems inevitable to me. Can we really electrify all the vehicles on the planet? How many two stroke engines are in use throughout Southeast Asia alone? Batteries and electric motor technology is just so much more complicated than the internal combustion engine. Then you have airplanes, ocean vessels, military and emergency vehicles...
I'm not an expert in this. But swapping fossil fuels for synthetic petroleum made with nuclear or renewable energy seems like the cleanest refactor without rewriting the interface. If feasible. And we'd still want to optimize the whole stack and sequester carbon wherever possible.
