E = mc^2

Calculations have been made based on E = mc^2 of the amount of energy in a drop of water. The trouble is that there is no known way to release that energy. Even in atomic bombs only a small portion of the energy is converted to energy because the atomic number remains the same, doesn't it? The only way I know of to annihilate a proton is with an antiproton and those are hard to come by.

Btw, I've always had trouble identifying the units of that equation which contains no k.
