However, the laws of thermodynamics require that it always takes more energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen than you can obtain from the hydrogen. Why, then, would you ever spend more energy to produce hydrogen than you can obtain from using it? Renewable power has grown rapidly in the past decade. In some places, it has created intermittent periods of excess power. That means either renewable or nuclear power – if the price isn’t too high. MORE
