Without more detail it's hard to judge but these efficiencies suggest it is still a net energy sink (not source). If you think this is the answer, tell BP, who plan to spend $500m on alternatives each year (less than their forecourt publicty budget) but $8bn researching new ways of extracting the last oil. Photovoltaics, for well-known reasons, still do not offer an alternative to fossil. If they did, people who read this sort of article and believed it would see the greatest marketing opportunity in the history of the world, give up their day jobs and soon be the Rockefellers of the future.
