In this Act:
(1)
The term carbon
footprint means the sum of carbon equivalent emissions from all energy
conversion processes occurring from raw material through hydrogen production,
distribution, and use.
(2)The
term Department means the Department of Energy.
(3)
The term fuel cell means
a device that directly converts the chemical energy of a fuel and an oxidant
into electricity by electrochemical processes occurring at separate electrodes
in the device.
(4)
The term
infrastructure means the equipment, systems, or facilities used to
produce, distribute, deliver, or store hydrogen (except for onboard
storage).
(5)
The term Secretary means
the Secretary of Energy.
(6)The terms stationary and
portable, when used in reference to a fuel cell, include—
(A)continuous
electric power; and
(B)backup electric
power.
(7)
The term Task Force
means the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technical Task Force established under section
102(a).
(8)Technical
Advisory CommitteeThe term Technical Advisory
Committee means the independent Technical Advisory Committee of the Task
Force selected under section 102(d).
3.Congress finds that—
(1)the United States
imports 60 percent of all the oil and products that it consumes, most of it
used in transportation;
(2)there is little
fuel diversity in the transportation sector of the United States, making it
extremely sensitive to volatile oil supplies;
(3)rapidly rising
energy prices have raised the imported oil bill of the United States to nearly
$250,000,000,000 in 2004, which is a direct offshore wealth transfer from the
U.S. that could otherwise be invested in a hydrogen economy to create many new
jobs;
(4)although the
United States has become a more efficient and cleaner user of energy, total
energy use continues to grow as the economy expands, along with total vehicle
emissions;
(5)without dramatic
action, 68 percent of oil demand will come from imports by 2025;
(6)over the next 10
years, oil imports could cost nearly $3,000,000,000,000, while protecting
foreign supplies adds even more to that cost;
(7)hydrogen and fuel
cells offer the best hope of realizing more efficient, cleaner means of
regaining control of the energy security of the United States, and achieving
quality economic growth;
(8)in the spirit of
the Apollo project that put us on the Moon, and the practical vision that built
the United States interstate highway system, the U.S. needs to commit
sufficient public investment to develop and commercialize hydrogen and fuel
cell technologies, in partnership with our private sector; and
(9)economies must
grow to sustain their health, and strong public investments in research and
development will harness the skills of our universities, national laboratories,
and innovative private industry to create the hydrogen economy.
4.The purposes of this Act are—
(1)to enable and
promote comprehensive development, demonstration, and commercialization of
hydrogen and fuel cell technology in partnership with industry;
(2)to make critical
public investments in building strong links to private industry, universities,
national laboratories, and research institutions to expand innovation and
industrial growth;
(3)to build a mature
hydrogen economy that creates fuel diversity in the massive transportation
sector of the United States;
(4)to sharply
decrease the dependency of the United States on imported oil, eliminate most
emissions from the transportation sector, and greatly enhance our energy
security; and
(5)to create,
strengthen, and protect a sustainable national energy economy.

3.Tax incentives
to build the hydrogen economyIt is the sense of the Senate that Congress
should provide any necessary tax incentives to encourage investment in and
production and use of hydrogen and fuel cell systems during critical stages of
market growth, including—
(1)a hydrogen fuel
cell motor vehicle credit;
(2)a credit for the
installation of hydrogen fuel cell motor vehicle fueling stations;
(3)a credit for
residential fuel cell property; and
(4)a credit for
business installation of qualified fuel cells.
