As a clean fuel, hydrogen complements the
role played by other clean energy sources,
like wind and solar, to help the U.S. reduce
emissions in energy-intensive sectors of
the economy: steel and cement production,
heavy-duty transportation and shipping, White House statement, via 'Time'.

According to the White House, the initiative will
spur over $40 billion in private investment
and generate tens of thousands of jobs. .
However, environmental groups argue that hydrogen
power has a larger carbon footprint due to the amount
of natural gas or coal needed to fuel the process.

Hydrogen is another bait-and-switch
from an administration that continues
to break its promises to aggressively
tackle climate change and help
communities achieve a just, equitable
transition to renewable energy, Silas Grant, campaigner with the environmental
