at best it'll break even
This fuel from seawater story sounds like someone wishing things would happen...
At best it'll be break even energy wise. An energy storage medium.
And where will they find enough power (and heat) to make the reaction happen?
An aircraft carrier has a lot of wasted energy in the form of heat from the nuclear power plant. Capturing that energy to make fuel for its aircraft and escort ships would make the fleet far more efficient, and would give a battle group a large advantage by removing the need for UNREP every few days.
This is WAY early... Concepts and prototypes are a LONG way from reality...
