Hydrogen Is Here to Stay

Plug Power is one of the biggest providers of clean hydrogen fuel cell solutions in the world. The company was founded in 1997, it went public in 2002, and currently, it has a presence all over the United States. At the moment, its major business is the powering of indoor forklifts with its hydrogen fuel cells for companies like Nike (NKE), Whole Foods, Walmart (WMT), Amazon (AMZN), and others.
