#2  I don't see this as being more than a niche even if it works out technically. The electricity would only be produced in badly polluted water and the amount of electricity wouldn't be much more than the amount needed to run the water treatment facility, if that; not that the technology is unwelcome, just that its not a savior technology.

#1  70% rate efficiency is absolutely astounding, I believe this would be a brilliant way of producing power on a MASS scale, maybe only 15 years from now.

One great way to drop are dependency on oil. Think of all the water we use, we can now use it to power us. Recycling is an effective way, and more people should turn to it. (Although Greenpeace get in the way a lot! bunch of muppets.) Greenpeace are so for the world they don't want us to have anymore railways. What a bunch of to**ers jees.
But anyway, I think that with this we can change the world, clean water, make electricity and really make a difference
