I saw an article (on Facebook) the other day about a different type of Nuclear Power plant. One that has two purposes:
a) To supply electrical power in a way that doesn't produce any CO2.
b) To create large amounts of Hydrogen fuel that can be used to power vehicles and such.
Below is NOT that article, but it's pretty similar.

What's so interesting about this to me is that it addresses the fact that electricity production accounts for only about 25% of CO2 emissions in the US, whereas transportation is 28%.
