US green hydrogen would become world's cheapest form of H2 under tax-credit plan in new Manchin-approved bill | Recharge
Hopefully this can be a breakthrough in the USA and they can lead the rest of the world.

According to the latest figures from analyst S&P Global Platts, polluting grey H2 (made from unabated natural gas) costs $1.71-2.18/kg to produce, depending on where in the US it is made — all of which is cheaper than hydrogen produced elsewhere in the world, due to sky-high natural gas prices outside the US. Platts puts the cost of producing green hydrogen from renewable energy and electrolysis in a range between $3.73/kg in the US Northwest and $6.50/kg in the Southeast.
