Federal funding should go to bonafide clean energy systems, not fossil fuel scams

Today, the Department of Energy is announcing the hydrogen hubs that will be eligible to receive up to $7 billion in funding from the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. In response, Food & Water Watch Policy Director Jim Walsh released the following statement: “The massive build out of hydrogen infrastructure is little more than an industry ploy to rebrand fracked gas. The Biden Administration has clearly fallen for this scam hook, line and sinker.

The industry wants us to believe that it will be able to capture the climate pollution generated by hydrogen production, but there is zero evidence that will work, and plenty of evidence showing it will fail to deliver on climate goals.“Even the cleanest forms of hydrogen present serious problems – most notably the massive amount of water that would be wasted.
