"The predicted cost of jet fuel using the technology is in the range of three to six dollars per gallon, say experts at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, who have already flown a model airplane with fuel produced from seawater." Three dollars per gallon would be magnificent!

And the contract to develop this new fuel will probably go to an Obama contributor who will admit failure in a few years, but only after spending billions of tax payers dollars.

“Where does the energy come from to do the extraction in the first place? The article is not clear on that. So I’m guessing that it must come from a nuclear reactor aboard an aircraft carrier.”
Yes. And she’s talking about jet fuel.
To: Leaning Right
Apparently they’ll use electricity. Still no word on where the electricity comes from.
To: DJ Taylor
Obama will never allow this to happen. The greenie fringe would melt down.

They use a reactor fueled, in part, with Unobtanium. Very close.
Actually, it's updidasium (discovered in the '50s.)

If so there are going to be a lot of unemployed roughnecks who used to work in oil fields
They'll find new work in the salt water conversion plants. The big news is that the middle east will have its money machine cut off. No more funding for terrorists.
To: KarlInOhio
Would 6 to 7 dollars a gallon be cheaper than the cost of hauling the jet fuel out to the carrier battle group? If so, this reduces the logistical requirements.

Jet fuel us around $4.79 per gallon.
