    What do you get when you mix superheated hydrogen ions and O2?

A bad joke.

    Unfortunately it would be heavy water The Veneral deuterium/hydrogen ratio tips drastically to the deuterium side.

And there's no way to make that work towards our means?

I looked it up Methane and Water a big wet fart. So you are correct about the bad joke.

Heavy water is used as a coolant in reactors but energy is cheap on Venus and heavy metals are not.
