Amazon thinks hydrogen can be a more sustainable fuel for vehicles at its warehouses, but it’ll have to clean up hydrogen production first.

It makes no sense to convert nuclear power into hydrogen, it's massively inefficient. (Green) hydrogen is of interest precisely because sun and wind availability varies. It's a good way to store the excess when an excess is inevitable.

It clearly does make sense to make the most of existing nuclear capacity , it does not make sense to build more nuclear. It costs billions and takes decades to come online, the same billions spent on solar and wind starts producing power immediately.
