The region will be one of seven sites selected for producing hydrogen fuel more cheaply, hopefully opening the door to a major source of green energy.

The hub in the Northwest will be one of seven nationwide. Officials said they'll help the country move away from fossil fuels and the greenhouse gases they emit.

It has been touted as an environmentally-friendly alternative for parts of the economy that are hard to electrify like heavy industry, trucking, and the manufacture of carbon-intensive materials like concrete and steel.But it has its critics, too.
