Trees are great. What I mean is engineering Trees that convert sunlight in a super efficient way and bear electroil fruits.

Electroil is an imaginary liquid that is as energy dense as oil but can be converted to electricity at almost a 100% efficiency

We know most of the oil is used to power engines. It’s not a very efficient chemical to kinetic energy conversion.
