Why Does PA Want Hydrogen Hubs?

from City Cast Pittsburgh · host City Cast

The federal government is giving away billions of dollars to build hydrogen hubs across the country, and Pennsylvania lawmakers want in. They’re excited about hydrogen as a cleaner energy source than fossil fuels — and about the potential for new, well-paying jobs throughout the Commonwealth. But some environmental advocates worry that without the right regulations in place, these hydrogen hubs won’t actually be as environmentally-friendly as they seem.  Kate Huangpu, government reporter for Spotlight PA, joins us to break it all down. Find her ongoing coverage of our state’s bid for hydrogen hubs here. Want some more Pittsburgh news?  Make sure to sign up for our daily morning Hey Pittsburgh newsletter.
