33. Is nuclear energy the best way to produce hydrogen?

New high-temperature nuclear reactors are rumored to be the least expensive way to produce hydrogen. As none of these reactors have permits at the moment to be built in the United States, a final answer to this question is in the future.

Hydrogen is commonly produced by extraction from hydrocarbon fossil fuels via a chemical path. Hydrogen may also be extracted from water via biological production in an algae bioreactor, or using electricity (by electrolysis), chemicals (by chemical reduction) or heat (by thermolysis); these methods are less developed for bulk generation in comparison to chemical paths derived from hydrocarbons. The discovery and development of less expensive methods of bulk production of hydrogen will accelerate the establishment of a hydrogen economy.
