The California Effect:
What Hydrogen Developments in California Mean for the Country

Funding for the hydrogen and fuel cell industry is in jeopardy both on Capitol Hill and in California. In Washington, Congress is reviewing a DOE FY2010 Budget Request that eliminates hydrogen funding. Meanwhile in California, the $40 million recently approved for hydrogen fueling infrastructure is a strong vote of confidence - but due to the state's financial crisis, its appropriation is no sure bet.

As the battle for funding and public support continues, the industry needs to improve its communication to key stakeholders. On June 18th, from 12:45-2:45pm EDT, the NHA hosted a live broadcast of a panel from an all-day event organized by the California Hydrogen Business Council with participation by leading industry organizations, including
NHA. Five industry leaders from California will present status reports on key sectors and give you the sound bites you need to communicate the immediate and long-term benefits of the hydrogen economy and turn stakeholders into advocates.
