It's basic thermodynamics. Baring being used in some kind of nuclear reaction, water will never be an energy source.

What if you use the electricty from a photocell to break up the water atom and then the hydrogen as the primary fuel source? If the South African claims are true, they have developed a highly efficient photocell capable of producing high volumes of electrical energy from sunlight. Use that to extract the hydrogen and then the hydrogen to power whatever. Combine the two and you have a powerplant that runs on nothing but water and sunshine.
Is that not a reasonable solution to your problem?
