President Joe Biden announced billions of federal dollars for the creation of regional hydrogen hubs across the country. Hydrogen could be a climate-friendly alternative to fossil fuels.

"Steam loops" under hundreds of U.S. cities and universities have warmed buildings for a century. Now they could become a climate change solution.

Beneath the streets of hundreds of North America's oldest cities lies a network of pipes delivering steam heat to office buildings and hospitals. These steam loops could be a clean energy solution.

The Postal Service plans to replace about 160,000 gas-guzzling delivery trucks, but just a fraction will be electric. Advocates and states say going electric is aligned with climate change goals.

The Biden administration has opened the East Coast to massive offshore wind development. But it will happen in some of the country's most fertile fishing grounds, and that's set up a growing battle.

Fifteen states are challenging the decision, arguing that the risk of explosion puts lives in danger. For one project, highly flammable gas will travel 200 miles through a busy East Coast corridor.

Across the country, new gas pipelines have met political opposition, protests and lawsuits. In Pennsylvania, one major project has also sparked criminal investigations.

Chemical experts say recent refinery explosions could have been far more devastating if deadly hydrogen fluoride was released. Some are calling for a ban on the chemical.

Japan doesn't think battery electric cars are the only future for transportation. It is investing millions to ramp up production of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, citing their convenience for consumers.
