When trying to decide a hold or sell policy a friend ran into this article from June 4th 2015,re.a Washington outing with Congressman Chris Gibson.
Here were some excerpts that created his opinion of Fed.involvement.


Gerry Conway, Plug Power’s General Counsel, continued the earlier conversation about policy. He noted that an aspect of Plug Power that doesn’t get noticed very often is the work we do with a diverse group of people in Washington, DC, saying that Plug Power is a poster child for how work with many different agencies and programs can help a company to be successful. He added that the "financial support of Department of Energy programs" came at a critical point in the company’s history and enabled us to accelerate deployment of 300+ fuel cell units to multiple customers, including Sysco, FedEx and Coca Cola.

Also this:

Secretary Sarkar’s remarks centered around the successes of the work done by the "partnerships between government and the fuel cell industry, including cutting costs by 50% and doubling capacity since 2006 and catalytic funding for R&D and market demonstration programs". He specifically noted the joint program that led to the Plug Power program to demonstrate baggage handling equipment with FedEx

If I jumped to the wrong conclusion;my apologies.
Controversy is the last thing I wanted to add to the board.
