A hydrogen fuel cell vehicle simply is an inefficient coal powered vehicle.

The most sensible solution is to co-generate hydrogen from water with the huge amount of unused electricity generated by nuclear power plants.

"The most sensible solution is to co-generate hydrogen from water with the huge amount of unused electricity generated by nuclear power plants."

All of the nuclear plants in the US today are running 24/7/365 with just a short downtime for refueling. The priority for trimming power goes windmills first, then hydro, natural gas, coal, and finally nuclear. It has to do with ease of dumping excess power. Where is this "huge amount excess nuclear power" you speak of?

There is not unused power from nuclear power plants. They are base loaded plants.
