Makers of fuel cells are asking Donald Trump to fix a mistake that left them out of the tax-credit extensions granted to solar and wind power a year ago.
In an open letter to the President-elect posted on an industry group’s website late Monday, dozens of employees of Latham, New York-based Plug Power Inc. appealed to Trump’s willingness to “call out mistakes and fix them” after congressional staff omitted fuel cells and some other technologies from tax-credit extensions approved in December 2015. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said at the time that the omission was a drafting error and vowed to fix it, but it hasn’t been resolved.
