Think in terms of developing countries bypassing much of the outdated centralized infrastructure development the West went through, and jumping directly to new technology, much like how diesel generators and cell phones rolled out through the third world.

One butane distribution depot per county, one local merchant per village, all those MIT $100 laptops and wireless routers fueled by Butanes cells instead of Chinese knock off diesel generators.

That’s for an off the grid charger that transfuses charge from purchased D-cells to the laptop battery.

It looks good to bean counters, but has little to do with reality...
