The Verge spoke with White House national climate adviser Zaidi this week about what he sees ahead for clean energy technologies and where there might still be room for progress. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

The Biden administration unveils final rules for subsidizing hydrogen power amid debate over how green the fuel should be.

The Biden administration loosened some stringent safeguards on a tax credit worth billions of dollars for hydrogen production, after companies argued the rules would stifle domestic manufacturing of the fuel.

One of the most powerful parts of President Joe Biden’s signature climate law was designed to attract support from such a wide array of industries that it would be hard for Congress to repeal. Now, that theory is about to be tested.

Hydrogen projects had been waiting for the rules, which determine what ventures are eligible for incentives under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.

The Biden administration finalized rules meant to boost domestic production of hydrogen fuel through a new tax credit, a move that might also keep struggling nuclear power plants on line for longer.

Biden's last-minute actions could be difficult for President-elect Trump to unwind, since they would likely require an act of Congress to repeal.

The Biden administration on Friday finalized fairly strict climate rules for the nascent hydrogen energy industry — but the rules contain new flexibilities that are expected to make them less

The Biden administration said on Friday nuclear power plants will be able to secure lucrative tax credits for production of what it calls clean hydrogen if the credits help prevent reactors from retiring.

Last year, the administration selected seven hydrogen hubs to receive up to $7 billion from the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law. In mid-December, the Department of Energy launched environmental reviews for three of the hubs.

With a lucrative tax credit, the Biden administration is hoping to establish a new industry that might help fight climate change.
