electricity can be produced, stored and delivered by many means; no so for gasoline and other fossil fuels. by moving the problem to the power plants it is much more easily solved in a single location with greatest efficiency, without the consumers knowing or having to worry about it. it's separation of concerns, right there in real life :)
- danielweber 13y agoGiven energy input, you can manufacture gasoline from atmospheric CO2.
