You might like this one. The short of it is they are coupling a higher temperature nuclear reactor with hydrogen production to control/use the high heat of the reactor by using it for hydrogen production, which requires higher heat than standard nuclear reactors, all making for a very green system. Hydrogen from a source as green as nuclear might make FCEVs competitive to BEVs for end-of-life carbon emissions, even if BEVs turn to lithium-sulfur and/or sodium/sulfur batteries, lowering their green footprint initially and over the life of the car, as they would have a longer battery life. Converting the infrastructure would take a little more time, and I don't know if they have to create desalination plants or are taking fresh water, but this could give planes, towing trucks, interstate trucks, distance travelers and anyone not living at a residence with a plug for their car to have an alternative vehicle.
