I would put my bets on EV and PHEV over the inefficiency of making synthetic fuels to power grossly inefficient internal combustion engines.

I hate how closed-minded this extremely conservative American society is these days. What really annoys me the most is those who don’t even read ALL of my posts……so that I always have to keep on repeating myself like a broken record. Here is some of what I posted:

After many years of research and development, electric storage batteries for electric cars still do not have the energy density and convenience of liquid fuel that allows quick refilling of a gas tank.

And also:

So that while there will be some losses converting electricity into chemical fuels derived from seawater, the commercial value of the resulting liquid chemical fuel will be much greater.

More of my quotes on efficiency:

Here recently, there have been advances in improved fuel cells that use methanol.

And also:

Furthermore, if you replace the internal combustion engine and wasteful transmission of a conventional automobile……and run electric power directly from a methanol fuel cell to an electric motor attached to the wheels……the original energy of the focus fusion device could be converted back into motive power quite efficiently.

And about not using old abandoned offshore oil platforms for the most efficient purpose, you said:

1. In tomorrows grossly expensive energy economy you could make a profit making energy out of just about anything.

2. The goal is not to replace oil just to make a profit, synthetic oil made from solar or wind power plants……

5. If cheap aneutronic fusion becomes a reality, kiss all other energy sources goodbye, it will become the power source for everything, electricity, synthetic fuel, manufacturing, waste recycling, desalination, everything, and will change the world even at a rate cheap printable solar power could never even dream of.

Which is all the more reason not to waste a useful resource like old abandoned offshore oil platforms on windmills……regardless ! ! ! (which is what they want to use them for now) You can’t run very many cars and trucks on fuel from offshore windmills. Put high energy density DPF fusion plants on abandoned oil platforms for making fuel from ocean water just like I said. NOW GO BACK AND READ EVERYTHING THAT I SAID.
