Wyoming's Pronghorn Clean Hydrogen Center is under scrutiny for its economic viability, as green hydrogen production requires significantly more energy and water than it yields, resulting in high operational costs of $5 to $8 per kg compared to $2 per kg for grey hydrogen. Critics highlight that the facility's reliance on intermittent renewable energy sources complicates operations and argue that federal subsidies may be misallocating resources away from more feasible energy alternatives like natural gas.
