It's hard to use tidal/geothermal/wind energy for locomotion. It has to be stored in a retrievable format... either a battery or converted to a solid fuel. I think of this blue crude as a biochemical battery of sorts even if it isn't necessarily an electrical charge measured like a lithium battery. The storage format is such that existing technologies can use it... makes perfect sense and doesn't require new consumption hardware like buying an entirely new vehicle to use the stored energy.

“Of the value traps, the most widespread and pernicious is value rigidity. This is an inability to revalue what one sees because of commitment to previous values. In motorcycle maintenance, you MUST rediscover what you do as you go. Rigid values makes this impossible.”
