Is hydrogen a crucial clean energy solution or gas industry greenwashing? It’s a question driving fierce debate among environmentalists, elected officials and labor unions in Southern California and around the world. Sammy_Roth reports:

Instead, SoCalGas told the California Public Utilities Commission it would like to spend an estimated $118 million in customer money to begin studying and designing hydrogen infrastructure to serve the L.A. Basin. Those funds would cover the project’s first two phases, with a third phase to follow that could cost “several hundreds of millions of dollars” more — all before construction begins.

“This is the largest gas company in the country trying to figure out how they go about decarbonizing their system,” he said.Sempra subsidiary SoCalGas is working with a high-powered lobbyist on a new advocacy group that will promote natural gas. At the same time, the gas company notes that hydrogen could dramatically reduce hazardous air pollution from heavy-duty trucks,that Angeles Link could deliver enough clean-burning fuel to displace 3 million gallons of diesel each day.
