Hydrogen Subsidies
Legislators looking for a bipartisan issue should focus on blue hydrogen. IEEFA’s latest analysis shows that the process, which uses methane gas with carbon capture to produce a supposedly cleaner fuel, is a lose-lose proposition that would cost billions of dollars in subsidies for essentially zero environmental benefit. It is an...
