I hadn't even thought about the desalinization aspect of it, and I'm sure there are other applications that have the potential to improve the entire planets quality of life. Hell it could change the entire mindset of our species... I'm not so pie in the sky delusional to think that we'd all join hands and sing Kumbayah around the fire, but with limitless energy it'd give us one less thing to kill each other over.
This is all based on if this technology was introduced properly.

Problem is human beings are greedy,countries are greedy and a tonne of economy's depend on oil. A country like Russia would crumble without oil, how long before someones twitch muscles start throwing around a few of their 16,000 nukes.
This kind of technology would have to be controlled and phased in very very slowly, problem is humans also can't keep anything under wraps.
