The predicted cost of jet fuel using the technology is in the range of three to six dollars per gallon, say experts at the US Naval Research Laboratory

Well, the current commodity price for jet fuel is three dollars per gallon so for civilian use it is too costly. Probably the same could be said for ship diesel fuel -- the main differential would be in transport cost (military tankers) as compared to in situ fuel production.
For wartime use, ensuring supply and security, it makes sense. |
