Well done Nikola! The US must to catch up with China and quickly convert it’s long haul trucking industry to hydrogen. Steve Girsky was a good choice to lead the company. There are reasons for the massive fires in Texas and heavy flooding in California. It’s called climate warming and the US is not prepared for what will come by the end of the century. More fires, flooding and strong storms in the world oceans. Sadly, the US will have depleted all its remaining oil and gas reserves. Nikola is doing the pioneering work that is needed to transition to hydrogen for the trucking industry. The Biden Administration working with Congress and the DOE have provided amazing Federal tax incentives are helping the oil and gas industry to transition to hydrogen. Please use the Federal and DOE funds for hydrogen hubs and a hydrogen network that can expand quickly across the US. Please don’t put the US at risk by quickly depleting the remaining US oil and gas reserves for profits. At current production rates, US oil and natural gas will be depleted long before a transition to hydrogen is completed in the US. Oil and natural gas depletion is occurring in the US at an alarming rate. Please think long range and help the US make this needed transition like Nikola and HYLA.
Thank you Nikola and HYLA for stepping up to this task. Can’t believe Shell closed their hydrogen stations in California. Shell and Exxon needs to step up as well. Foolish neglect for profit reasons while quickly depleting important US oil and natural gas reserves will cause serious harm in the future. Simply look at Texas and the rapid depletion as an example
