I was looking at news article on the Glickenhaus build of a fuel cell vehicle. I have been a fan of fuel cells for years. Yes I understand the need to build out a fueling network, but the same has been happening with charge stations for EVs. But you won't have proprietary connection points and very long down times waiting for your vehicle. And when things like the current mess in Texas, CA rolling blackouts, and power loss that happens elsewhere, it makes me nervous to rely on such power. And it is certainly going to be a problem with material resourcing as the current need for batteries grows. I see the opportunity for another cartel-like opportunity for the main producers of things like lithium. But hydrogen, it is everywhere and only a matter of time until it becomes a energy neutral process to extract.

Anyway, thought this was an interesting article, and I hope fuel cell technology continues to evolve and allows us to have vehicles that mirror the convenience we have today. I just don't want to sit in some rest stop waiting to a) find an open charger, and b) then wait longer to get a full charge.
