It really doesn't matter if it works or not, the world's economy will not allow it work. Oil and the world's economy are so intertwined, that if this were to actually work, it would have ramifications across the globe. It would not happen overnite, but the way technology progresses, in a few years, our need for oil will be drastically reduced. Actually, it would not be just oil, any other energy source would potentially be affected. It's great that there are people out there trying to develop new energy sources, but it's really futile at this point. Again, the world's economy will allow it to progress.
