Two huge problems:

1) they're not rechargeable, meaning you need to continue to use new sugar each time which would require massive amounts of farmland

2) the use of sugar creates carbon dioxide which what we're trying to avoid. They attempt to avoid the problem by making an acid out of 6 carbon dioxide. I'm wondering about the toxicity of the resulting acid as it would be produced very high quantities
