Maybe it will work if gasoline gets up to $10 a gallon.

Gee you sound like those who were against the motorcar. And those
farmers who said that the tractor could NEVER take the place of a
workhorse. There were probably cavemen who thought that damned new thing
called fire would never work!

I agree it "works" it is just too expensive to make a go of it.

Shale oil was too expensive to compete in a 99 cent a gallon gasoline
market too but once we got it over $3 shale oil looks good to us (or
at least the Canadians who are developing it)

Typically, new technology becomes lower in price as time and ingenuity
take their course.
