There are no hydrogen wells anywhere to be found, you know... Hydrogen is not a primal source of extracted energy, it's a way to store energy that is produced by other means.

Promoting fuel cells is nice, but without legislation fast-tracking nuclear energy, it's not very helpful. If you have to burn imported fuel to produce hydrogen, then you are set further back because the process is less efficient than gasoline engines, due to the multiple conversions.

We have been over and over this on FR for a long time. The idea is to get free of imported oil, not to find a cheaper source of fuel. Reason being, there is nothing cheaper on this planet than oil.

We have a winner!

Nuclear power should offset the thermodynamic inefficiency of hydrogen production, correct?

How would this be done? Electralysis?
