1. If it runs on salty, polluted water
count me in. Otherwise, I'll stick with the electric car (for my hypothetical probably-never-own-it car).

2. It's not burning water
It's burning hydrogen made from electrolysis of the water. And I suspect that said electrolysis takes more energy (from another source) than you get from burning the hydrogen.

Most important point in the article:

Why does he get a TV station to verify his claims as opposed to someone who is actually qualified to evaluate them?

The answer should be obvious.

3. I can't wait until all I need to do is pee in the gas tank and I'm off!
