On your mark, Mark ...
Lerner and co. expect about 4 yrs of engineering prototyping after scientific breakthrough to produce a licensable design. At that point (~2017), the design will be made available to ALL comers for a very reasonable fee, world-wide.
At that moment, the race to be first (or at least quick enough) to get access to ultra-cheap power will be on. I perdicks: by 2020, the world will be converting to FF power as fast as it can crank out the generators. To do otherwise in any particular jurisdiction will be to accept a 10X+ disadvantage in the cost of new and replacement power sourcing. That's incentive with big teeth.
