Fuel Cells go to Washington
1 June 2005 by Hydrogen PowerGM, DaimlerChrysler and Nissan showed up in Washington, DC last week to show off how far fuel cell cars had come. Also present were reps from GE, Delphi and Ballard Power Systems to explain their particular part of this technology puzzle.
The timing of the event, now in its fifth year, was good. Activity on energy policy has heated up in Washington, D.C. lately, and there’s no shortage of provisions dealing with hydrogen and fuel cells. The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee approved an energy bill the week of May 23, with the full Senate poised to take up the legislation in June. (The House passed its version in late April). “They’ve got to get me a bill,” President George W. Bush said at a press event at a hydrogen fueling station in Washington, D.C. last week.
