That's not someone harnessing neutrinos for their power, that's someone harnessing technobabble for it's ability to separate rubes from their money.
If I'm reading that paper above correctly, which despite its silly premise appears to have been seriously written (by undergrads, but the numbers pass the smell test), neutrinos have ~1/70th the power flux of solar anyhow, assuming you could catch all of them, which you can't.
