Watch the video. In short, one man has discovered, quite by accident, the potential to have almost unlimited free fuel for the planet: Salt Water.

The earth is covered with it, and very few people have figured out how to use it in its natural state as a fuel source. Instead of focusing our efforts and energies on other fuels we have to grow (biofuels), or fuels that require the introduction of a huge new infrastructure (hydrogen or natural gas), why not focus on what could potentially be used as fuel using our existing infrastructure? After all, gas in its liquid state for automobiles sits in tanks and is put into cars via pumps. It would be just as easy to replace the gas in those tanks with salt water and pump that into our cars instead.

It’s time for us as a country--as a world--to start investing heavily in these alternatives. In one easy step, we could resolve the fossil-fuel problem, the alternative fuel needs, carbon-neutral fuels, and rising ocean levels all at the same time.

It’s time for General Motors, Ford, Toyota, Honda, and everyone else at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show to stand up and take notice.
