Description
The Biden administration is pouring billions of dollars into seven
regional hubs meant to jumpstart and grow the nascent clean hydrogen
industry. But the leaders of the hubs are warning the Treasury
Department's proposed clean hydrogen tax credit could undercut their
projects and President Joe Biden’s climate goals. POLITICO’s Kelsey
Tamborrino breaks down their concerns and the tightrope the Biden
administration must navigate with the tax credit. Plus, the White House
is close to nominating two or three new FERC commissioners in a matter
of weeks, according to West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin.
