Wouldn't combustible salt water be a great fuel for the worlds energy problems? Is it possible?

Question

Give me some positives and negatives, and do you think this technology is possible?

Answer 1

+ it is not gas

+ it is an abundant source

- we are stealing from fish and other sea life (ocean life)

- would this be like cutting down the rainforests?

- we could drown when we go to the ocean to get saltwater

+ it would be MUCH cheaper then gas

Answer 2

I don't think it could ever be a energy source.  Maybe a way to exstract hydrogen for fuel cells on an industrial scale though.

Answer 3

Water combustible ?

If you could do it we need water to live.

Answer 4

It takes about 300% more electric power than U could recover in a motor generator.

Answer 5

I've never heard of water combusting??? If it was possible my biggest problem would be the fact that our water is very precious to the future survival of mankind. Maybe not in the near future but within the next fifty years it will show us water is more precious than we come to think these days. I personally think our best bet is solar power and finding and pursuing a way to capture more of it's energy. The Earth captures approx. one-billionth of the suns power, if we could design a way of capturing the suns power in space we'd have it made.
