Don't forget this line of the story Ouri:

"Thermal depolymerization, Appel says, has proved to be 85 percent energy efficient for complex feedstocks, such as turkey offal: "That means for every 100 Btus in the feedstock, we use only 15 Btus to run the process." He contends the efficiency is even better for relatively dry raw materials, such as plastics."

No device is 100% efficient, but I call 85% pretty good and an answer to many of the energy problems we face. After all, if only 15% of the turkey is needed for energy to run the machine, that leaves a lot of energy to spare. It is certainly better than tossing all that stuff (PVC, turkey ofal, dead bodies, plastic etc...), wouldn't you agree?

This device couldn't solve the energy problem - you need energy to obtain the oil. What it could do (if it really works) is allow you to use electricity to obtain gas. The question then is, where do you get the electricity from? (nuclear power, wind, solar power, dams, coal...)

Also, oil has uses in petrochemistry. We need it to make all those plastics.
