Good in theory, until you count up all the energy needed to mine the ore, refine it, smelt it, form it, and create all of those wonderful nano crystals needed to convert sunlight into H.

Somehow these whizbrains have left out all the energy needed to get to a working model that can't even power a 100 watt light bulb.
