JOHN DAY – Grant County is full of natural resources, and one you may not immediately think of is hydrogen. Grant County Commissioner John Rowell was in the studio recently and mentioned to listeners that there may be some experimentation with hydrogen in the near future:

“It looks like we have…in June…a company coming in to do some experiments for hydrogen…how it comes out of the ground, and see how it works. It could be something bigger as they develop this.

Rowell didn’t mention the name of the company. Stay posted for updated details on the hydrogen testing. Listen to the full podcast with Commissioner Rowell below:
