A Methanol Solar Cell anyone?
In general, I think that structured metamaterials are the solution to metered and monetized energy. A penny is only 2.5% Copper, but if they retire all of them that's a lot.

didn't mention it above but another reason the eFuels aren't going anywhere for normal road transportation is that they have the same local emission problems as fossil fuels. NOx, PM, CO, HC are the same. Reducing GHG is generally talked about more when people talk about the need to move to renewables but just as important is reducing smog and pollution related disease in urban areas all around the world.
So I will pin my hopes on the Thunderstorm Generator.
