Shame it's so impractical to make hydrogen efficiently unless we
build more nukes.

how do "nukes" make it more efficient?

Because nukes are much cheaper than other ways
It is not that it is more efficient per se,just massively more cost
effectibve. off peak nuclear electricity is almost giveaway


Itym "almost given away"....i.e. no demand but can't (practically)
stop making it....

which is why pumped storage schemes were build as partnerships with
Nuclear.

It not wuite that they couldnt stop making it, it is just that the cost
of keeping it running is so low.

ALL the cost in nuclear is capital, insurance and maintenance. That
happens whether its running or not. Fuel costs are very low.

and a few staff to make sure it's OK.
