I can confidently tell you that OL3 does not cost €40/MWh. The marginal cost for paid off nuclear plants are €25-40/MWh. The €13B construction cost ends up being more than €86/MWh, unless you decide to amortize it over 80 years or something insane.
> The same Lazard research report also states that: "Combustion turbines for 100% hydrogen are not commercially available today".
50% hydrogen already in use:

A DOE grant to get to 100% hydrogen:

No need to let perfect be the enemy of good. Make synthetic methane to get the hydrogen blend needed.
