Some conditions apply. YMMV. This message was packed by weight, not
by volume. TWIAVBP, local variation may occur. Dramatization, not a real
authority. Do not induce vomiting. No user-serviceable words inside.

You do know that it takes more energy to make hydrogen from water than you
can get out of the hydrogen by converting it back to water, right?

Not that I think that hydrogen-powered vehicles are a bad idea, it is just
that an ocean of water isn't likely to be powering your car anytime soon.
