Amazon thinks hydrogen can be a more sustainable fuel for vehicles at its warehouses, but it’ll have to clean up hydrogen production first.

    That’s where nuclear can shine as well, make hydrogen during off-peak hours

        So when there’s not a lot of sun and wind? Nuclear HAS to be a big part of our energy future if people are actually serious about 100% fossil free energy

          I’m not saying it shouldn’t, I’m saying for a hydrogen plant for warehouses, renewables are absolutely fine. We’re not solving all the electrical needs of the warehouse here, only the vehicles.

          So renewables can refill the tanks, and hydrogen can power the vehicles. As long as there’s enough wind and sun on average to keep the tanks full enough, it’ll work.
