True. Also, now we have proof of concept and can hand it over to the GMO experts to see what they come up with.
Also, if they found some sort of self duplicating hybrid bacteria whatever then we essentially only have to manufacture the encasement etc, not mine the earth... Which is better environmentally, and may have a net lower $/watt production cost in the end with lower efficiency over larger areas. Who knows, it's only proof of concept so far.

Lots of possibilities :)
