How come we never here anything about hydrogen fuel cell cars in Illinois. 5 minutes to fill up for a range of 400 miles. Instead we hear only EV’s. The Toyota Mirai looks good and about $49K

Here is some info on hydrogen trains in Germany but of course none in the works in Illinois.

Good point. People are deifying Elon Musk and taking to heart every word out of his mouth about how EVs will doom internal combustion engine cars in the near future. I guess that could happen if the feds continue buying into this mindset. Aligning with your comment, let’s emphasize other technologies, too. Anyway, anyone becoming a trillionaire is ridiculous, given most people can’t fathom a billion dollars worth of assets owned by one person.
