Whenever I see all those political moves toward EVs and Hydrogen, I wonder if someday common sense will be common again...
Both ethanol and CNG still make more sense than Hydrogen, and can be implemented fairly easily in a spark-ignition engine. Just look at that Ford Godzilla engine, which resorts to port-injection and is fairly easy to adapt to run on CNG, either dedicated or retaining the capability to also use gasoline (or ethanol in the flexfuel 6.8L version).
And while Ford gave port-injection a chance with the Godzilla, I must confess I was quite surprised that GM switched to direct injection for the Silverado 2500 and 3500 when it (finally) replaced the 6.0L engine for the 6.6L which is available nowadays, even though the Silverado 1500 was already resorting to direct injection for a while.
