Yeah, and that's going to be the problem as long as existence is bound by the laws of thermodynamics... but this would be a virtually limitless source of energy. Where fossil fuels are starting to dwindle, deuterium is, for all intents and purposes, infinite. There's enough floating in the ocean that we wouldn't run out in the forseeable future.
