True big oil, coal and nat gas is pushing to keep it's business in place, but also true to date alt energy except for hydro and wind projects are not cost competive (notice how all the big wind projects are private ventures?)
I'm not sure the OH will be the defining moment. If it does happen, I'm sure they will have something that looks better than an erecter set, but unless they have an independent firm there that certifies the demontration of the 10x power augmentation, it still won't prove anything (how will they be metering the results.) As someone posted here repeatily, the results need to be independantly verified.
Law of Conservation of Energy can not be broken. Period.
JMHO.
