Personally, I think the government either has or is not far from having a suitable energy source. They already are working with anti-matter technology. Its possible they have devised a method of using it as fuel.
Or who knows? Maybe a viable version of this technology exists? Its hard to tell with how secretive our government is.
Could warp drive be a scientific reality in our lifetimes?

"HOUSTON — A warp drive to achieve faster-than-light travel — a concept popularized in television's Star Trek — may not be as unrealistic as once thought, scientists say.
A warp drive would manipulate space-time itself to move a starship, taking advantage of a loophole in the laws of physics that prevent anything from moving faster than light. A concept for a real-life warp drive was suggested in 1994 by Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre; however, subsequent calculations found that such a device would require prohibitive amounts of energy.
Now physicists say that adjustments can be made to the proposed warp drive that would enable it to run on significantly less energy, potentially bringing the idea back from the realm of science fiction into science."

Just ask Nikola Tesla
Unfortunately, there really is no way to prove that you don't die every time you transport.
I get people that would...I'm just not one of them.
