Biden Unveils $7 Billion Plan for 7 Regional Hydrogen Hubs to Promote Clean Energy

President Biden announced $7 billion for 7 regional hydrogen hubs to develop hydrogen as alternative fuel and cut carbon emissions.

Hubs involve 17 states and focus on producing "clean hydrogen" from renewable sources like solar/wind instead of fossil fuels.

Major hubs California, Pacific Northwest, Midwest, Gulf Coast Texas, Appalachian, Mid-Atlantic.

Goal is to create thousands of jobs, cut carbon emissions from vehicles/industry, and support domestic clean energy manufacturing.

Critics argue hubs still rely too much on natural gas and lack transparency around selection.
