Pennsylvania Democrats face a conundrum. They love getting other people's money (i.e., "government" money). They love any energy source *other* than fossil fuels (they have an irrational and deep-seated hatred of fossil energy). They even love the idea of hydrogen as an alternative energy source. But they don't know what to do with the coming hydrogen hubs. Their patron saint, Joe Biden, has promised billions in government (other people's) money for two hydrogen hubs that will, at least peripherally, benefit Pennsylvania (see Hydrogen Hub Winners Announced – WV Takes Prize in M-U Region). Republicans love the coming hubs (see PA Republican Legislators “All-In” on Regional Hydrogen Hubs), which is enough to sour the Dems against them. Sad, isn't it? Two key Democrat legislators, State Senator Katie Muth (D-Chester/Montgomery/Berks), chair of the Pennsylvania Senate Democratic Policy Committee, and State Senator Carolyn Comitta (D-Chester), Democratic Chair of the Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee, co-hosted a public hearing on Monday on the proposed development of hydrogen infrastructure in Pennsylvania. It was pretty much a hate-fest against hydrogen.
