For some things fossil fuels is still the only feasible (meaning, remotely close in cost) solution. Air fuel and fertilizer comes to mind.

- Retric 2y agoNot when we start talking 4x or more the price. The cost premium of biofuels for air travel aren’t that high and the scale can meet demand for long distance flights. Fertilizer from nitrogen in the atmosphere is again cost competitive relative to that kind of increase. Batteries are fine for ocean shipping on a ~50 year timescale, and that basically covers burning fossil fuels. Using it as a feedstock for plastics etc is a non issue for climate change.
