It's boiling water all the way down.

Seriously though, it's over 100,000,000° so probably not.

    First, fusion has 0 theoretical economic potential, but there is some potential for energy gains from 2250^^ + steam. Water deconstructs above this temperature into powerful HHO gas, that when ignited gains another 2500^^ that will chain react with higher pressure steam to make the steam even hotter/higher pressure. Minor problem of melting all known turbine material, is avoidable through just higher volume of pressured steam.
