A series of unrelenting storms battering the East Coast may bring some good news for the hydrogen fuel industry. Recent storms have done a great deal of damage to the eastern U.S. power grid, causing widespread blackouts that are expected to linger into January of next year. In New York and Connecticut, officials are looking to incorporate hydrogen fuel cells as a way to fill the energy void. Given that Connecticut is home to the highest concentration of fuel cell manufacturers in the nation, the East Coast’s energy system may…
