It comes down to choosing the method of converting an energy supply into
mobile propulsion.
One can:
1- suck it out of the ground, put it in a tank and burn it for propulsion.
2- Dig it out 0f the ground, burn it to make electricity that is used to
charge a battery that later propels a vehicle.
3- Use a tiny engine via #1- to slowly charge a battery for later quick
vehicle propulsion.
4- Charge the vehicle battery from the sun to later propel the vehicle, etc.
Which is best depends on solid or liquid fuel availability, or the state
of the art of battery fabrication, or the frequency of vehicle driving
needed for the individual.
Nature gave us two legs and beasts of burden.
They will always be with us.
I'm less sure which 1- 2- 3- 4- alternatives will be best at any given
time....

That's all very true, except that laws of physics and the best
available science has already proven and in many instances having
demonstrated that we do not have to survive by way of the collateral
damage as well as the human blood and guts worth of fossil and
yellowcake energy alone, especially at the ongoing demise of our frail
environment and even more so frail DNA that simply can't go on forever
as though there was never a problem, and even somehow at 1e10 souls
living up to the American quality or standard of life is going to
become doable as is.
It seems by way of the orchestrated damage control that's clearly
working on behalf of whatever fossil and yellowcake fuel doesn't have
any such birth-to-grave considerations, of no lives being damaged or
much less taken, and oddly none of it pollutes our environment
according to those in charge of our private parts and most of our hard
earned loot. It seems according to the mainstream status quo of big-
government and of their big-energy puppeteers that are more semitic
than not, that past, current and future wars have never been about
energy or of the products and services accommodated by such, that
which mostly benefits their own rich and powerful kind that would
supposedly never dream of hurting a Muslim fly that so happens to be
resting upon his/her own oily rock.
I guess upon that fantasy flat Earth of theirs that's somehow getting
itself summarily polluted and global warmed to death all by itself
(not even the least bit affected by our moon), is also where that Old
Testament god of their pretend atheism is also telling us that within
the entire universe we're it, or perhaps all she wrote(sort of speak),
with everything else being of mere redshift eye-candy that's entirely
moving away from us faster than any form of technology could possibly
keep up with, much less overtake. In other words, faith-based pretend
atheism, nothing is ever in blueshift or is there any viable
technology of ever accomplishing such blueshift as according to their
all-knowing expertise, that's slso rather nicely backed up by their
pretend atheism's Old Testament. How odd, that our only options are
terrestrial and as such have to include those perpetrated cold and hot
world wars.
I guess that kind of global domination and/or brown-nosed minion
mindset must be why these extremely smart insiders of Usenet have to
make such efforts at continually traumatizing and/or trashing my poor
old PC.
BTW, as you've indicated, there are more of those ways for obtaining,
storing and using energy to behold than suggested your "1- 2- 3- 4-
alternatives", whereas some of that energy can be accomplished off-
grid or even home brewed if need be.
