Actually, the holy grail is to get hydrogen (from anywhere), start a controlled nuclear reaction like that on the surface of the sun or exploding hydrogen bomb, which will turn it into helium, generate the amount of energy that is several orders of magnitute, or even 10s of orders of magnitude above the amount you get from hydrogen turning to water.

And drag racers will finally break the 1 second quarter mile...

And then you can use energy generated by the fusion to get more hydrogen from water, fusing some to keep everything going and turning using the rest for fuel cells for uses where you can't really have a fusion plant (like powering cars).
