Still no firm date from Treasury on the #45V clean #hydrogen tax credit guidane. Meanwhile a fire hose of fossil fuel cash is soaking DC. Is this going to end up like the cellulosic ethanol debacle?

There's gossip about Treasury punting the #GreenHydrogen #45V tax credit rules decision until the fall. Anything concrete to read?

Wild. You know you're on to something when Exxon & Co take out a full-page ad in the NYT arguing against "additional" renewable energy requirements for green hydrogen tax credits. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/21/advertising-blitz-behind-bidens-hydrogen-tax-credits/

My WaPo op-ed with Danny Cullenward: "Get tax right or clean hydrogen will be bigger boondoggle than biofuels" https://gwagner.com/45v

Would be grand if we could avoid turning green hydrogen into the next corn ethanol.
