An idea to obtain hydrogen from coke, which comes from ( drum roll please ) coal.
Process heat for the recovery can be obtained from molten-salt reactors. The coal is carbonized into coke and byproducts, including hydrogen. The hydrogen can be made into ammonia, which can be shipped through existing channels in order to transport the hydrogen for fuel cells.
Excess coke can be more easily sequestered than carbon dioxide.
Not that I believe that carbon dioxide is a real problem, but if you really want to do something about it, here's a way to do it and help the country at the same time.
