Starting a company to develop an energy technology that fights climate change is hard—a lot harder than starting a software company. With this technology, Jaramillo said, “we can double the range of today’s hydrogen-fueled trucks to diesel level.” But the opportunities are huge. Do they know how to meet [these] commitments? Not really.”
