US Navy 'game-changer': converting seawater into fuel

US experts have found out how to extract carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas from seawater.
Then, using a catalytic converter, they transformed them into a fuel by a gas-to-liquids process. They hope the fuel will not only be able to power ships, but also planes.
That means instead of relying on tankers, ships will be able to produce fuel at sea.
This is an amazing breakthrough! Turning sea water into fuel that will run in existing internal combustion engines?!....Hmmm ...not good news for OPEC.
