Yes, that energy can be used by us for various purposes such as atomic hydrogen torch in which hydrogen molecules are broken by electric arc resulting them to jump into excited state which is unstable and they come back to ground state after recombination to form again hydrogen molecules and release very high amount of energy that can even be used for welding of metals.
