If you have fusion energy, creating H2 from water via electrolysis is a joke. You can do it at home. It only requires a lot of energy. But with energy from fusion it will become super easy, barely an inconvenient

    Well. Assuming the cost of splitting water is lower than the energy produced from the same amount of hydrogen.

    It is muuuuuuuuuuch lower. The actual energy is incomparable, like an ant vs superman level of energy.

    The energy in practice it'll be extracted from H2 has to be much higher for the process to have a practical use
