So where is the electricity coming from to hydrolyze water into hydrogen (fuel) and oxygen? It will come from coal burning power plants. If it comes from a natural gas fired power plant then it makes more sense to burn natural gas directly in an internal combustion engine. Nuclear power to produce hydrogen is also non polluting
If the electricity come from hydro-electric power then hydrogen makes sense and will truly be non polluting. Wind and solar are a joke and only exist due to an array of gov’t payoffs

..............
right now natural gas is the source of hydrogen for fuel cell cars. water is still a dream.
I agree that 4th generation nuclear power plants especially via msr and lftr reactors will deliver the real energy revolution—which is electricity prices at least 1/3 the price of current cheapest coal or natural gas fired electrical generation plants.
In fact, I think that should be on the republican agenda as a counter sign to the lefts clean energy vision —which is rapidly taking shape. Solar and wind will reach grid price parity without price supports —with natural gas and coal in a decade at their current rates of price decline. They are already at grid parity in the southwest with price supports.
Republicans should promise to push the research in 4th generation lftr and msr reactors to collapse the cost of electricity. That’s the real revolution.
