Not to diminish what they are doing (and I am no expert in all of this), but my understanding is that there are parallels between iogen's process and beer making... we like to make beer here!
Personally (having an ee/physics background) I like the idea of electric propulsion for cars (done right of course, prius=meh to me)... it seems though that energy storage is probably now the biggest hurdle. The fact of the matter is that oil/ethanol etc store a whole heck of a lot of energy in not too much space + weight, so we can afford to waste some of that energy and still have a pretty functional end product... one of the pros of all that waste heat is you don't need as much of a heater in winter, one of the issues with electric vehicles: it costs mileage to run heat/ac...
That said, I agree. Good engineering can solve many problems.
