hydrogen...

Would it not be easy (ok relatively easy) to convert old nuclear powered naval ships from their original mission to hydrogen production? You have a reactor which produces possibly 100 Mw of power. This can be converted to electricity for electrolysis of sea water. The hydrogen could then be transported inland for use, and voila, lots of cheap hydrogen. This would follow the "if you build it, they will come" principle. Suddenly demand for hydrogen would appear. Probably first thing would be conversion of natural gas electrical generation plants to hydrogen. An odd and inefficient cycle really, nuke to electricity, electricity to hydrogen, hydrogen to electricity... but it serves to prevent you from having a nuke in your backyard.
