*News and Events Dow Installs a 75-Kilowatt GM Fuel Cell, Earns DOE Kudos Engineers Find Economical Way to Make Hydrogen from Ethanol New Hampshire Slated to Earn Ethanol Exemption; California Wants In Natural-Gas and Hybrid-Electric Cars Top Green List Five Power Companies Commit to Clean Energy, Cap Greenhouse Gases Florida Power & Light Launches Green Power Program Dow Installs a 75-Kilowatt GM Fuel Cell, Earns DOE KudosDow Chemical Company began drawing on a 75-kilowatt fuel cell to help power its Texas Operations site in Freeport, Texas, on February 10th.
