Sens. Byron Dorgan (D-ND) and Lindsay Graham (R-SC) have introduced the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Act, which is intended to put more money toward hydrogen fuel research. The bill authorizes $7.9 billion dollars over the next 10 years for companies, universities and national labs to develop transportation, infrastructure and production solutions for hydrogen fuel technologies.
The Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Act of 2005 was introduced by United States Senators Byron Dorgan (D-ND) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
The legislation aims to launch a major long-term research and development effort to transform the transportation sector with hydrogen and fuel cells.
S. 665, The Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Act of 2005, authorizes a 10-year, US$7.9 billion program, in partnership with industry, universities and national labs, for the development, demonstration and commercialization of hydrogen and fuel cell technology.
"This bill would help jump-start the industry and lead us to a day when we can drive our cars without being hostage to the international oil cartel," Senator Dorgan said.
"This bill will create the 'Apollo Project' our nation needs to make hydrogen technology a real part of our energy picture for future generations and realize true energy independence."
665 recognizes that the swift development of fuel cell electric drive technologies is critical to achieving energy security.
EDTA looks forward to working with Senators Dorgan and Graham to realize our shared vision for the future of transportation."
