Wind power to ammonia, ammonia to fertilizer and fuel. NH3 bears about 40% of the energy of diesel by volume and it'll work in existing engines with simple modifications any mechanic can be trained to make.
especially with NH3 made from the stranded yet optimal wind resource areas close to the two polar oceans.
NH3 - dirty fertilizer, clean fuel
I think you are onto something here. In addition a bio-reactor unit could be researched/made that would provide enough fuel for the farm.
It's the time ramp up to mass deployment that may be an issue and the provision of the capital to purchase these investments in a potentially crippled financial system.
But given a fair wind and a smack by the government the basics of human existance can be sustained IMO.
