Because gasoline/diesel/etc. are very energy dense and much easier to store and transport than any alternativd. In some cases e.g. airplane there simply seem to be no other options (unless there is a massive breakthrough in battery tech and possibly out understanding of physics). So ‘clean’ burning synthetic fuels don’t seem like a terrible idea. Of course it all comes down to energy efficiency, but if solar/wind continue growing and carbon capture somehow becomes cost-efficient (assuming free solar/wind energy) it seems like a much better option than continuing oil extraction or even biofuels (which of course is also technically “carbon capture” just not very land/water efficient). > we are not even a bit ahead. Of course. But how does it make it different from every other option? Moving to 100% renewables won’t reverse climate change either .
