Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Caucus Re-Launched

Several U.S. senators are banding together to re-launch a bipartisan Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Caucus, with U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina serving as a co-chair. The re-launch comes as U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu has become more supportive of the technology.

“It is imperative that we unite as a nation to support hydrogen and fuel cell technology — a U.S. clean energy technology — as part of our ‘all of the above’ energy security strategy,” said Shannon Baxter-Clemmons, director of the South Carolina Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Alliance, in announcing the launch.

The goal of the caucus is to promote the development and commercialization of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies in the United States. The U.S. House has a similar caucus; U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson, a Lexington County Republican, is its chairman.
