Saltwater Power.

No, this isn't about those wave generators or harnessing the kinetic energy of currents.  70% of the earth may be covered with fuel; right on the surface.  And we've been digging up, killing for, and refining this black fool's gold like simpletons.

So here's the story: A guy oddly discovered that you can burn saltwater by passing calibrated radio waves through it.  No one believed him, cause that's just silly.  Someone recreated it and explained that its hydrogen burning.  Now everyone is trying to figure out how to make it a viable energy source.

Ok, that sounds really good, doesn't it?  Kinda makes me wish I hadn't been so down on hydrogen vehicles for so long.  But I can still see this going several ways:

1. Its a hoax and you guys were morons to believe it.
2. Not Commercially viable (you have to put too much energy in to get anything out)
3. Revolutionary breakthrough that:

• Is swept under the rug by fuel companies until you're left wondering in 2043 while paying $45 a gallon for gas "what happened to that saltwater fuel thing?"
• Changes the world as we know it, reducing the energy market to a non-commodity worldwide; and setting a historical waypoint marking our entrance into the future.
• Turns out to be worse for the environment than gas and nuclear explosions combined.

• Can saltwater be burned as fuel? - Engadget
