Why? What would be the point of splitting water if you have LENR? What would you use the hydrogen for? The only use for hydrogen is to generate energy, with a fuel cell or combustion. If you have LENR you use it to generate energy directly. Generating hydrogen with wind turbines is a way to store the energy. That is needed because wind power does not come on demand. It may be that battery storage is now more economical than storing hydrogen. However, for large scale storage, hydrogen may have an edge. I wouldn't know about that.
