Earth Matters: Camilla Feibelman

Earth Matters host and GRIP Executive Director Allyson Siwik talks to Camilla Feibelman, executive director of the Rio Grande Chapter of the Sierra Club about development of a hydrogen power industry in New Mexico.

During this year’s legislative session, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham backed the Hydrogen Hub Act to incentivize a hydrogen power industry in the state and put New Mexico in the running to access some of the $8 billion available from the Biden Administration’s Infrastructure bill set aside for so-called Hydrogen Hubs. But critics say that hydrogen production can actually increase our carbon footprint rather than reducing our carbon emissions.

Camilla was at the center of environmental advocacy on climate-related bills during this year’s legislative session and she unpacks the hydrogen power controversy for us. Is it really a net benefit to the climate or a losing proposition?
