H-Prize for Hydrogen
By GreenAdmin
I once got a ribbon for a crappy science fair project. Maybe if the top prize were $10 million I’d have tried a bit harder. H.R. 5143 just passed the House, creating the new H-Prize to encourage the private development of hydrogen-based energy technologies. The bill was introduced by Republican Bob Inglis (R-SC) and was supported by Science Committee Chairman Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY). There is good precedent for the efficacy of such awards – the first commercial spaceflight last year was spurred on by the $10 million Ansari X Prize. Unfortunately, Boehlert’s retiring this year. He was a good Green Republican.
