The falling cost of wind power is shaping up to be a boon for another clean energy source: green hydrogen.
Hydrogen -- a fuel made by electrolyzing water -- requires a tremendous amount of power to produce. But siting hydrogen facilities at wind farms, which typically generate more electricity than they need at night, could give the fuel an edge.
