Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station officials are studying a plan to use surplus electricity to separate water into oxygen and hydrogen.

摘要

The three-reactor power plant, located west of Phoenix, Arizona, went on line in the 1980s and is licensed into the 2040s. The hydrogen could be used for fuel-cell cars and trucks or by nearby natural gas-fired power plants. Phoenix-based APS manages the plant and is the largest co-owner. Others are Salt River Project, El Paso Electric Co., Southern California Edison, PNM Resources, Southern California Public Power Authority and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
