re: US Navy 'game-changer': converting seawater into fuel

The Model T was built to run on easily renewable resources

Like what?Ethynol?You have to be kidding to call it
a renewable source when it actually cost more fuel than it produces.

Good lord the reason gasoline works is because it's the most efficiant way to power an automobile.Don't ya think for one second if there was a better alternative someone would've
marketed or produced it?

The article was misleading, the true objective is to use energy available from a ships reactor to produce jet fuel for planes eliminating the need to carry large stores of jet fuel on carriers.

Hydrogen is a energy carrier, not a energy source just like a battery. The amount of energy required to break down the molecular bonds in seawater will always be greater than the energy produced by this process, the laws of physics are still in place as will our gas pumps in 20 years.

Better article

"But to make a jet fuel that is properly "green", the energy-intensive electrolysis that produces the hydrogen will need to use a carbon-neutral energy source; and the complex multi-step process will always consume significantly more energy than the fuel it produces could yield. In addition, each step in the process is likely to add cost and problems."
