Its the same as a battery. You need primary energy to charge your
hydrogen tanks.

Probably by electrolysing water using grid electricity from coaal and
gat power staions.

No comment on the viability of Hydrogen fuel cells but surely
electrolysing water is something intermittent renewable sources are
suitable for, i.e. in the UK = wind.


But nowhere as good as superheating steam using nukes and then breaking
into hydrogen and oxygen.
Most of the energy comes from the cooling of the reactor.
The rest from electricity.

The french wouldn't need to shut their reactors down when its hot if
they were designed that way.
