we’ll run out of water.
***Not bloody likely. There’s enough energy in one gallon of sea water as 50 gallons of gasoline.

Even if there is such energy, what are the byproducts of this reaction, and who exactly (biologists? chemists? physicists? poets?) so quickly declared them harmless, and what should we do with them? Just pile them up, until the end of days? If they possess less energy than the ground state, there isn't much we can do with them... they become dead weight forever, ashes of Hydrogen.
Also, I see that you are using salty water for the reaction. Even if we assume that salt is not a concern for the reaction itself, what happens to all these dissolved salts after the water is converted to plasma and then into something else, not seen before on this Earth? Those ought to be piles and piles of salt... and you know, that salt is not very good for the land. If you dump it back into oceans, it will be eventually changing the water; also, trucking of all that salt water across the country, and trucking the salt back, can't be free. What's the story?
But I suspect if the reaction is real, and not imaginary, then salt in the water is bad news - for one simple reason: it had to be heated up. First, we lose energy on that; and secondly, that energy can break bonds between Na and Cl. What will happen then? You get Na and Cl2. None of them are good for life, by anyone's definition (unless you are an extraterrestrial from an unusually nasty planet.)
There is plenty in this theory that can be questioned even without debating whether the reaction itself is possible.
