Exactly. For every biofuel or alternative energy technology, the decriers complain, "that would only replace x% of fossil fuels, so why waste the time and money?" The answer is that you don't use just one. Solar and wind BOTH can replace coal and natural gas for stationary sources, and biofuels and EVs can BOTH TOGETHER replace fossil fuels. Eventually, as catalysts for cracking water improve, you start supplementing biofuels with fuel cells (or use fuel cells to "flatten out" the base load for solar and wind.)
