Green hydrogen does not exist at this time. Therefore, it's just a plan.

There's about 100 GW of already installed capacity. That's 100 GW more capacity on windless winter days than non-hydro renewables.

Google is your friend. Took me 1 minute.
- U.S. Hydrogen Electrolyzer Locations and Capacity
- Total installed electrolysis capacity by technology

So? That doesn't make nuclear energy competitive for new projects.
