Hydrogen production can make fossil fuel peaking plants obsolete if there’s enough capacity to soak up excess nuclear and reweable power during periods of low demand. Long term storage is a possibility, but we need hydrogen anyway for GHG-free ammonia (fertilizer), steel production, and vehicle fuel.
