I think that the most useful way to capture solar energy for human use would be to grow selected oil-producing algae in closed reactors fed with waste industrial CO2, harvest the oil, and feed it into oil refineries for processing into hydrocarbon fuels.

And quit wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on such boondoggles as hydrogen and ethanol as transportation fuels.

"grow selected oil-producing algae in closed reactors fed with waste industrial CO2, harvest the oil, and feed it into oil refineries for processing into hydrocarbon fuels."

Sounds similar to the plans of Sunflower Electric in S.W. Kansas until the 'powers' nixed the permits. Still in court...
