I would assume (with good reason) that the amount of energy needed to generate a counter to the gravitational field would be the same as the amount of energy required in thrust to do the same thing.



Still, having a drive that doesn't need to push stuff out of its back would be very interesting, IMHO - even if it doesn't work out better energy-wise.
