Hydrogen is going through a huge hype cycle right now. In the EU there is a lot of regulatory incentives + the IRA in the US is a game changer. Definitely a hot industry right now.

Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.

Question for those in "tech" cities. I am in Northern VA and view this area as a potential tech destination of the future as FAANG moves towards servicing the federal govt (see HQ2). Is there much of a premium in terms of pay for the accountants in the current tech cities? Is a career in FAANG as an accountant better than public accounting if you never expect to make partner? There already seems to be a severe shortage of talent here in NoVa so I'm wondering what to expect 3-5 years out.
