There was a story in Scientific American a long time ago about isolating hydrogen in salt water as a fuel source. The core of the sun of course is hydrogen that fuses into helium which then serves as both our heat source and the outward pressure that keeps the sun stable and prevents it from collapsing inward. Stars collapse when the hydrogen source is completely used up and the outer envelope than blows out into space in what is called the red giant stage. Hydrogen is the fuel solution of the future without question.

Snowfreak - burn as in physics is what the story is about.
