One of the advantages to deploying new technology to the military first is it doesn't have to meet commercial standards. For example military vehicles don't have to meet commercial safety standards, their emissions don't have to follow EPA regulations, etc.

I think the algae that eats CO2 and poops diesel, if it works, will be the thing that ultimately resolves the fossil fuel energy crisis - and there will be downsides, like mutated algae species running rampant over ecosystems.
