Our existing transportation systems and infrastructure are built on liquid fuels. It does not make much sense to just throw everything away and start over with electric. Will you have electric long haul tractor-trailer trucks, electric cargo ships? Throw away hundreds of millions of existing cars? No.
Liquid fuels can be made from crops and this can be carbon neutral. The crops would be converting solar energy into a liquid form that we could use in place of some of the fossil fuels used currently.
Some hybrid of bio liquid fuels with electric is what I would expect to see in the future.
