U.S. Representative Kim Schrier is leading a demand for the Department of Energy to reverse its decision to terminate the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub. In a letter, Schrier, who represents Washington’s 8th District, and 14 other colleagues called the cancellation of $1 billion in funding “disgraceful.” The hub, located throughout Washington, Oregon and Montana, was sent forward after years of bipartisan advocacy that argued it would increase domestic energy production.
