Debate over hydrogen as a clean energy source hits the Midwest
Published 1 year, 4 months ago
Description
The Department of Energy last week committed up to one-billion dollars to ramp up hydrogen production in the Midwest.
Proponents say the investment won’t just create green jobs, it’ll slash emissions, too.
But local environmentalists say it is a shell game that allows oil and gas companies to continue business as usual.
WBEZ’s Juanpablo Ramirez-Franco went to a rally in Northwest Indiana where advocates wanted to hit the brakes on what they call dirty hydrogen.
