No. The Energy Returned vs Energy Invested is very poor. 2:1? It is foolish for the cars and it is foolish for replacing diesel. A waste of time and money. There is no replacement for the density and current price of diesel fuel. Magic stuff. Things will be much different as it starts to leave us in 20-30 years.
