But you can't pour solar panels into a fuel tank. What liquid biofuels are good for is stuff you can't electrify, like aviation and shipping.

Sure, but the context is that the US dedicates almost half its corn crop to ethanol that's blended with gasoline. Vehicle electrification + solar panels will free up a huge amount of agricultural land.

There's multiple companies working on electric passenger planes, and smaller cargo ships.
