Let's not complain too much : now there will be a real-life example of the tech. In a year or so, we'll be able to ask : so, how's those pads working at the generating energy part ? What are the exact figures ?
One way or another, those figures will be published, then compared to the amount of energy required.
Then we'll be able to have a hearty guffaw and that will be the end of it.
Because the only reason we're still hearing about this nonsense is that nobody is publishing actual figures, everything is just marketing. If we could harness marketing energy, we'd already be exploring the stars.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
