With solar's rapidly declining price, its not hard to imagine a near-future where daytime energy is abundant. In such a scenario, materials that come out of the ground with energy and materials that you need to charge-up like this are practically equivalent. Therefore the days of oil's value are numbered as long as we continue to develop fuel-like renewable energy stores like this.

But would solar price be the same if the world global energy mix used no fossil fuel ? My belief is no, not at all, unless we used nuclear which can give an energy density similar to fossil fuels. But I have no research data to back this claim.
