Huge win for Hydrogen in Energy Bill. Manchin is The Man.

As I have said before, end of September will be passage of the significant H2 legislation. Biden, Schumer, Pelosi all want it. That means that Ds will fall in line. Rs are pretending not to like it but they will love it and vote for it.

If you search the text, there is no mention of solar or wind. There are only two references to hydrogen. But that is the beauty and genius of this bill.

The bill is written to expedite decisions and permitting for the electrical grid and also for Natural Gas pipelines. How does H2 win? Very simply and totally. The definition of Natural Gas will now be changed to include Hydrogen as one type of Natural Gas! This means that all of the issues, questions, indecision and delays regarding regulation and permitting of H2 will now be resolved, because they will all be treated exactly the same was as the now expedited rules pertaining to Natural Gas.

This huge win for H2 has so far gone unrecognized. Here is the text which appears on page 86. It is a simple change but it is huge H2 win.
