OP didn't say there were no goods as fungible, they said few. Fossil fuels can be more fungible without them being wrong.
Arguably, "fossil fuels" are not as fungible as electricity anyway. I can take electricity from any outlet and, with the right adapter, use it to power any electric appliance. I cannot take gasoline intended for my car and use it in a grill, or in the furnace, or in a jet, no matter what equipment I buy.

It’s the other way around. You can transport barrels of oil overseas and use for trading but sending electricity requires infrastructure that may take some time to deploy. It’s the same problem with gas pipelines.
