EXACTLY my point of view; buying time for LENR to happen without falling under the curse of OPEC.

Well it does substitute for OPEC oil, if that is the bottom line - but if you want to get extremely precise, then you must admit that if biofuel, made from CO2-fed algae in round one, is then burned in the second round in the same kind of situation where the exhaust is also recycled to make more biofuel, ad infinitum, then long-term neutrality could attach. One could envision a smalled capacity grid-plant situated on a flooded desert, out there in the wilds of New Mexico, where the CO2 is looped over-and-over with algae, for carbon neutrality, or close to it, over time - but - returning to the issue of practical solutions, even if we get only one generation of neutrality - then that is superior to the present state of affairs, no? We need to eliminate carbon as a longer term goal ABSOLUTELY true, no argument there, but we also need practical stopgap measure that can "buy time" (perhaps time for your LENR breakthrough ;-) ... ...and at the same time eliminate the sword of OPEC hanging over our collective necks.
