If the federal government is involved in this we will have a shortage of sea water within 3 years.

Climate change oceans rising?
Problem solved!
Somehow I expect that someone will say that this process will cause global warming.
“...only aircraft carriers and some submarines are equipped with nuclear propulsion.”
I didn’t know that. For some reason, I thought we had a few cruisers that were nuclear-powered.
At any rate, this is pretty big stuff, if it pans out. A conventionally-powered ship that can refuel at will would have a significant advantage over one that could not.

Can Lead to Gold transformation not be far behind?
I don’t know about sea water, but the river water around Cleveland used to burn pretty good.
And as soon as it is shown to be viable we will give it away to every other country. We cannot have an advantage...
Where do they get the carbon?
“For the first time we’ve been able to develop a technology to get CO2 and hydrogen from seawater simultaneously, that’s a big breakthrough,”
But CO2 is a “pollutant”.
And like all articles it never answers the big question; How much energy is required to retrieve the hydrogen? More than the hydrogen provides, I suspect.
Oh great! Now we are going to use sea water for fuel. There is only so much sea water on this planet. Sea levels will lower and marine life will be put in jeopardy. And what are they going to do with all that toxic CO2? They’ll have to release it into the air and make man made globul warming worse, which will melt the polar ice caps, kill the polar bears and raise sea levels and drowned millions of coast and island dwellers around the world.
THIS IS JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE!
(cynical sarcasm based on liberal thought process)
Nothing new. I remember back in the 50’s there was a pill that once you filled your tank with water, you could drop into the tank and turn the water into gasoline. I think there were perpetual motion machines back then too.
This reads like the cover of Popular Mechanics.
The Climate Change Alarmists are going to hate this!
If we’re able to make clean, easy to get fuel, they won’t be able to use the AGW scam to help them achieve world wide Socialist control.

Some submarines? Except for one small research sub, every submarine in the US Navy has been nuclear powered for 24 years.
They are replacing decks with corn rows to grow biofuels. Makes about as much sense with this government in charge.
