Need any more proof that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are getting another shot in the arm in the U.S.? Take a look at the fall and rise of the Senate Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Caucus.

Yes, after years of a decidedly anti-hydrogen DOE, the federal government is giving H2 some more attention, and Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Chris Coons (D-DE), Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and John Hoeven (R-ND) decided to get the band back together, re-launching the Caucus during a luncheon in Washington, D.C. recently.

What's interesting is that the flyer put out by the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association announcing the revived caucus has three pictures on in, none of them are of cars. Instead, there's a forklift, a bus and a building. The press release put out announcing the re-launch also only lists hydrogen-powered vehicles as one small part of the larger role that fuel cells will play in the coming years. The only automaker that actively took part in the re-launch was General Motors, which sent speaker Joe Guzzo to talk about the company's plan to bring a fuel-cell vehicle to market by 2015.
