DOE funding hydrogen fuel cell projects across the country to the tune of $100 million
Here are some more details on two of the companies that are receiving grants as part of the Department of Energy's $100 million funding announcement for hydrogen projects around the country last week. One company, United Technologies Corporation, is researching more durable and less costly seals and catalysts for transportation fuel cell stacks and received $8.4 million. Another, Nuvera Fuel Cells, Inc., is receiving $5 million for their work on proton exchange membrane fuel cell water management. Nuvera has developed a metallic bipolar plate design with a patented open flow field construction to move water around within the fuel cell, and claims this can improve performance and lengthen the cell's life cycle cost.

"Department of Energy's $100 million funding announcement for hydrogen

This is just a drop in the budget compared to the massive tax-supported funding needed to ram this insanely stupid idea down the throats of the American people.
The only other alternative will be
government coercion, which will probably be applied to ethanol first.
