Submission + - Cut over 50% in Hydrogen Cars Funding
rgarbacz writes: "U.S. will reduce funding for fuel cell cars from $168 million to $68 million because of a slow progress of the research.
Developing those cells and coming up with a way to transport the hydrogen is a big challenge, Energy Secretary Steven Chu said in releasing energy-related details of the administration's budget for the year beginning Oct. 1. Dr. Chu said the government preferred to focus on projects that would bear fruit more quickly.
The industry and the National Hydrogen Association criticizes the decision and declares to fight for funding."
