If we started that then people would be saying that there is only so much water on the planet....If that torch burns through everything, why didn't it burn through the piece of material he used to show that it turns back into water? He discovered another material that doesn't burn, we should make buildings out of that.

Water is not a fuel. Water can be split into hydrogen (which is a fuel) but that requires slightly more energy than you get back when the hydrogen burns.

Not sure what is news in the story - Electrolysis is not new, although maybe somebody will find a more efficient way to do it. A hydrogen torch is not new, although maybe somebody comes up with a hotter flame somehow. Hydrogen cars are not new - I visited the world's first hydrogen filling station in Iceland in 2003. And the energy for making hydrogen has to come from somewhere.
