the one vaguely sensible use case is as portable fuel, but then it raises questions such as “why do we still have combustion cars” and “don’t cars actually kinda suck? shouldn’t we be running more trains instead?”
Yeah, hydrocarbons are probably going to be really good energy storage for airplanes and gas turbine generators. Outside of that, I don’t see much use for a rare, dirty, hot, energy source. Rockets I guess.
