Congresswoman Schrier’s Statement on the Trump Administration’s Decision to Cut Hydrogen Hub Funding for Washington

Today, Congresswoman Kim Schrier (WA-08) released the following statement on the Trump Administration's decision to cut hydrogen hub funding for Washington:

"I am outraged by the Trump Administration's senseless decision to gut one billion dollars in funding that supports the emerging hydrogen economy across the Pacific Northwest, including in Washington's Eighth District.

"Under the cover of a shutdown, this Administration launched a politically motivated attack on a project that both parties have championed, which will bring billions of dollars in investments to strengthen our economy, create thousands of good-paying jobs, and bolster our domestic clean energy production. At a time when rising prices are already squeezing families across the country, this action hits Washington consumers hard by increasing utility bills and kneecapping U.S. competitiveness in the global energy race.

"This is not over. As a strong supporter of clean energy innovation, I will do all I can to reverse this decision, stand up for my constituents and our economy, and defend the future of hydrogen development across our region."
