Even if you live in a fossil fuels oppression country, you can still support sustainable baseload energy that may eventually cycle back to you...

Most H2 is produced from fossil chemicals. Much of that is produced with Steam Methane Reforming (SMR). In SMR 50% of the H2 is coming from the steam. So if you do chemical mass balance you get 5.5kg CO2/kg H2. This is about 50% of quoted SMR CO2 emissions. The other 50% is coming from burning fossil fuel to make steam and provide process heat. What would happen if concentrated solar or molten salt nuclear heat was used instead?

Alvin Weinberg pioneered this idea for nuclear power in 1960s. A pilot was built and operated at Oak Ridge Lab for a number of years but never ran on Thorium. Several designs are derivatives from that idea including Canada’s Terrestrial Energy. Hopefully in the west we come up with a competitive design before China dominates

A new generation of nuclear reactors is closer to becoming a reality. Terrestrial Energy has completed a regulatory review for its Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) design, which is safer and more efficient than conventional reactors. MSRs can also use nuclear waste as fuel, reducing the need for storage and disposal.

Appalling how leaders have favored political initiatives to stay grotesquely profitable, while competing baseload energy has been suppressed. Your grandchildren can't afford to wait for last minute desperation.

Like Nuclear Fusion; does this distract your attention away from SMR/MSR tech enough, that the industry successfully puts your grandchildren back in caves, while they enjoy record profits and luxury bunkers for their grandkids?..
