I would like to know the efficiencies of their patented electrolysis process. 4 oz of water to travel 100 miles....Please post your data!
Do a google news on 'water shortage'. It will show you a list of stories about serious caes of water shortage from assorted places like South Africa, Nigeria, India, Pakistan, China, Israel, Liberia, Spain, Botswana, Zimbabwe, USA (Arizona), Ghana.
None of the stories above is over three weeks old.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')t takes 1000 tons of water to produce 1 ton of grain and agriculture consumes almost 70 percent of the world's water - though only less than 30 percent in OECD countries. It takes more than the entire throughput of the Nile to grow the grain imported annually by Middle Eastern and North African countries alone. Some precipitation-poor countries even grow cotton and rice, both insatiable crops. By 2020, says the World Water Council, we will be short 17 percent of the water that would be needed to feed the population.
So how would this guy's invention be a solution for peak oil? You would need a vast amount of surplus desalination plants, which btw would require loads of energy too...
So, all of this, I think, should be taken into consideration as well. At least!
