Nuclear thermal water splitting

According to this Wikipedia entry can produce hydrogen for $1.53 kg.

The temperatures in the Generation IV nuclear plant are quite similar to a molten-salt reactor.

In other words, it is quite possible to split water with a LFTR.

The other problems, I've already worked out.  All it takes is the will to do it.

The plasma arc technology can reduce the nuclear methane to hydrogen at the point of sale.  The waste product would be elemental carbon.  It would be a lot easier to sequester that than carbon dioxide.

The point of sale mentioned in the previous paragraph is for a hydrogen fueling station for fuel cell cars.  These can be mass produced with today's technology, according to Aaronsson.
