    I suspect they have more work to do before this is ready for prime time...

    Re: Alternate Energy Sources

    Fundamental research means it is ready to be thrown over the wall ten or more years later.  Then application research needs another ten years to implement a product.  

    Transistor was developed in 1948.  Finally appeared as a product in 1960s and Annette Funicello's beach blanket movies.  An unusually fast transition from innovation to actual product.

    Litium battery - early 1960s. First applications in the early 1980s.
