Has The U.S. Navy Found A Way To Make Fuel Out Of Sea Water?



Could You Soon Be Filling Up With SEAWATER? US Navy Reveals 'Game Changing' Fuel Created From Water -- Daily Mail

* Has flown radio controlled plane using 'sea fuel' in first test of new fuel
* New technique can capture 92% of CO2 in water to create jet fuel
* Could be used to create fuel for any vehicle without having to modify engines

The US Navy has developed a radical new fuel made from seawater.

They say it could change the way we produce fuel - and allow warships to stay at sea for years at a time.

Navy scientists have spent several years developing the process to take seawater and use it as fuel, and have now used the 'game changing' fuel to power a radio controlled plane in the first test.

I'm a firm believer that we have the means with current technology to rid ourselves of the reliance on current fuel based systems.

The only thing that stops, or rather, prevents these kind of new techniques coming into the fold is money.

Money at the end of the day is what it's all about, sadly. And it's the one thing that stops us getting off the reliance of oil.

It isn't about conspiracy theories either; its practicality. Sadly we've come too reliant on the current economic models of our time to even try to attempt to take a bold step to remove this reliance.
