Wind and solar still don't make much power at night. Fuels need to be consumed to make power when wind and sun are not present. Hydro electric is nice but the power doesn't reach all areas So we still need fuels for power.

Any technology that makes more power on less fuel with fewer emissions is worth looking into. Seems that this wouldn't revolutionize anything and the power companies might jump on it as a baby step of progress while enabling them to maintain the status quo for longer.
