Okay, let's just pretend for a second that all of the "science" in this plan is on the up-and-up and that, if they were to share the plans, anybody in the world with the manufacturing capability could replicate their results.
Now that you're done laughing, let's look at the rest of it. It's taken 40+ years to get the tech to this stage why? If some random French guy nobody's ever heard of had it figured out 120 years ago, WTF have they been doing for the last 3 generations of wack jobs? Shouldn't they have it closer than 2-3 years down the road by now/
Finally, consider the last-mile issue. Okay, we've got a boat out in the middle of the ocean, with 1.21 hojillawatts of power stored up in it. Now what? Fire those diesel engines back up and head for shore? Big fucking extension cord? Pyramid power? Dolphins with battery packs on their backs?
Folks, you can't make this stuff up...it's pure comedy gold, straight from the pages of...PESN? Slow news decade in the tech world? Even the random Gizmodo updates from CES are better than this.
