Not once we melt the arctic and the antarctic. Then we will have lot's of extra water all round ;-) Anyway I don't see this issue as I live in a tropical part of the world and have a big river 10 minutes walk away. Also the Ocean is only 2 hours drive away. >> If you can burn water directly without having to extract the hydrogen >> first >> > > But you can't since it is already 'burned'.

Therefore separating the parts gives us two whole hydrogen atoms to excite and extract energy from. I have read that Hydrogen is approximately 10 times more unstable than gasoline and therefore you need less of it to create the same amount of explosive force. >> once you start the car you will be providing enough energy >> to keep the engine running >> > > So how is this different from a car motor that runs on gasoline? > Aaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh !
