Overview: This paper discusses state-level incentives and policies encouraging the development and adoption of stationary fuel cells. The United States ranks first in annual petroleum consumption (25.4 percent) and natural gas consumption (25.0 percent), and ranks second only to China in coal consumption. Critical problems associated with fossil fuel dependency and energy inefficiency are increasingly evident to governments at all levels, both domestic and abroad. Many governments are taking aggressive actions to address and counteract these problems, which include short-term and long-term environmental degradation, air pollution and public health deterioration associated with the procurement and combustion of fossil fuels.
