      My personal dream scenario is one, where renewables and nuclear become such cheap production methods, that electricity is cheap and abundant.

      At that point one could just use that energy to synthesize fuel to avoid the hassle that is hydrogen storage.

          Thats the point of having energy abundance. When electricity costs are low enough, it wouldn’t matter, if the source of synthetic fuel was not the most energy efficient one.
