Two competing trends. Increasing efficiency with water + sun makes ethanol. And a counter trend, the increase in energy demands from very convenient transportation bots. Now, if I were an evolved squirrel, that sounds like fun, actually. A very safe, friendly cheap modes of going anywhere at any speed. Environmentalists will be perplexed, but look how far the bots have come in just the last two years. Tell me, would you feel safe if the Jeopardy champion was driving you about?
So, the energy driver would be high efficiency methanol factories, driven by some electrical source. These factories gain by converting electricity into storeable methanol. There will be a nano tech break through. A durable, quantum dot scale hydrogen separater, reverse spinner, attacher stepper. I mean, if we can search for Higgs then we can do nanoscale.
Solar efficiency. We need 10% solar efficiency at the methanol factory. Is that so tough? Get a short hop, high efficiency power line from desert sun to oceanside. Sounds all doable to me, what's the problem?
