Ok, so the debate goes hydrogen is a very efficient (in terms of energy per unit mass and unit volume) and clean source of energy. However, getting the hydrogen, such as from water or methane, consumes energy. For every joule you get out, you have to put ATLEAST one into it, and the current sources of energy are non-renewable such as coal or petroleum.
So the question goes, why not use Nuclear Power to crack water. I know a lot of people hate Nuclear Power and think it’s unsafe. Fine, there is a lot of land out there where no one lives, throw a couple plants there to do a large portion of the refining work. Hell, build them in the Artic where no one lives. Sure you are going to lose efficiency in the transport, but the same happens with the transport of oil through pipelines and large ships! Nuclear power is clean, safe, and there are plenty of supplies (Uranium) to be consumed.
What do you guys think? Why isn’t this a major idea?

The artic is melting (no land there, just ice) so don’t invest too much in the infrastructure. But on the plus side, when the ice melts, all the nuclear waste will sink to the bottom of the ocean. Out of sight, out of mind.
Get hydrogen using the right method saves too much energy and makes that a useful practical method
For get hydrogen from common water you only needs apply a static voltage at certain special frequency, remember the basical quantum equation:
E = h * f
E the energy of a wave of frequency f, and h the Planck constant
Then, if E is the energy for break a H-O chain of the water molecule, you only using a low power signal at frequency f you can get the hydrogen, notice for get this split of the water molecule you need a signal ” of the amplitude you want”, so with low energy input you will get hydrogen
Practical results show you can get in hydrogen thermal energy 750 times or more than the input energy for power the electrical cells in the device
From this basical method too much people in the world, include me, we have build kitchens, solders, motors , electrical generators, etc,.. powered with common water
Siemens in Germany uses the same method for low to zero its energy costs
