US Senator Tom Carper (DE) touts fuel cells

Especially for trucking/mass transit. I think it's a good idea and I'm excited--as long as we can get energy bills passed to make it happen broadly.

Traditionally, hydrogen has been manufactured from natural gas, a process that emits carbon. However, Air Liquide and other companies are now investing in green hydrogen.

Edwards explained that hydrogen can be produced by using electricity to separate water into oxygen and hydrogen. If the electricity is from solar or wind, the process is zero-emission. Another method is to convert methane from a landfill or other waste source into hydrogen.
