The implementation of a hydrogen fuel enhancement system requires the availability of electricity. Where does the electricity come from? Does it come from coal or nuclear? What is the efficiency of that electrical production? What is the cost of the electrical production? These factors are applicable to the analysis of the efficiency improvement associated with the implementation of a hydrogen fuel enhancement system. Because of this the cleanliness and efficiency of electrical production are paramount.

I have no quams with coal based electrical production; I actually support it. I think coal is a perfect candidate for hydrogen fuel enhancement. So technically, the production of electricity for hydrogen fuel enhancement can be done using hydrogen fuel enhanced coal combustion. Although it would be optimal to use solar based electrical production for the electrical requirements of hydrogen fuel enhancement; in such a fashion the increase in combustion efficiency, of coal combustion, is not diminished by the electrical requirements of the electrolysis process.

Debating the use of nuclear powered electrical production is another story. Nuclear electricity is efficiency, but there are negatives that are a topic for another time. Although efficienct electrical production is the primary goal of future production systems, the waste product must be considered. A topic for another post would be the use of various technologies to dimish the potential hazardous nature of the byproducts of nuclear based electrical production facilities.
