There was a strong view back in the mid 70's that if we ought to utilize nuclear power to meet most of the daytime load and then use that same capacity to generate hydrogen gas at night. Its not easy, economic or efficient to 'switch out' nuclear generating plant as load drops. The very idea seemed to scare; but its feasible and but for the wetware could be as safe as anything else we do.
