This could be a game changer

GM made the first fuel cell based vehicle in 1966 and nothing much since then.

BMW made a fuel cell car around 2006 for just two years and abandoned it.

Toyota Mirai came out in 2014 and just 21K cars have been sold since then.

Just no market for fuel cell based personal vehicles since there is no infrastructure for distribution, nor will anything come soon. Hydrogen is explosive and dangerous to transport and this is why I believe it is only beneficial for commercial vehicles with their own infrastructure.

But the right wing keeps pushing it as an alternative to EV (passenger vehicles) because nothing can or will be done in the next decade or so (if at all).

Quite interesting that the right wing loves Musk but hates Tesla, perhaps they have not made the connection.

The "right wing" is "pushing" hydrogen as an alternative? Wow. I take it you've polled these Australian researchers to confirm their political leanings?

Its senseless to refer to energy production from any source as a "right wing" or "left wing" solution. I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish with the "right wing" reference.
