If we wanted to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels we would have re-legalized hemp a long time ago.
I have actually known about this "new technology" for quite some time, pretty interesting, but just like hemp, there is no profit in it for big companies, so I don't think it will be backed by the powers that be.

There are amazing things that happen when you mix water and electricity. No one believes me either. We definitely need to get out of the dinosaur age.
I differ, we have to get out of the big corporations rule age.
But what do I know?

Steinhoff estimated that extraterrestrial water could supply over 90% of the
logistical needs of space-faring humans. He wrote that the moon's gravity -
nearly 20% as powerful as Earth's - would make it an inefficient "interim
space base" for fueling Mars-bound ships. Citing Clyde Tombaugh, who had
written that Mars's moons were probably made of the same water-rich
materials as Mars itself, Steinhoff proposed that Phobos supplant the moon
as a stepping stone to Mars. Nuclear systems could cook water out of
Phobos rocks, then split it into hydrogen and oxygen rocket propellants.
In space exploration, in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) describes the
proposed use of resources found or manufactured on other astronomical
objects (the Moon, Mars, etc.) to further the goals of a space mission.
According to NASA, "In-situ resource utilization will enable the affordable
establishment of extraterrestrial exploration and operations by minimizing the
materials carried from Earth."[1]
ISRU can provide materials for life support, propellants, construction
materials, and energy to a science payload or a crew deployed on a planet,
moon, or asteroid.
LCROSS will help scientists understand how much water lies trapped in
frozen, permanently shadowed lunar craters, where it could conceivably be
harvested one day for use as fuel or human settlement.
There are entire cities that have been powered smoothly by free energy for 40 years now. They even float around the world. Unfortunately we're not allowed to live there.
