You've been here doing the hydrogen thing for 5 years.

Did you have a point?

So . . . a truck. Cool. When she runs out of Hydrogen and there's zero infrastructure to refuel the cell, then what?

Easy. Build a GD Infrastructure. The US has >$110 BILLION DOLLARS to throw at a nation few US citizens could even find on a map.

Here's how to do it:

Guangzhou Sets Out Plan for USD 1.4 Billion Fuel Cell Vehicle Industry by 2025. The city aims to establish itself as a leading domestic development and manufacturing hub for FCVs, covering the whole industry chain from core parts to vehicle assembly LINK

IF the US wanted alternative energy they've had >40 years to do SOMETHING. They don't. Because the PETRODOLLAR. That's why.

Are you sure it's not because we don't have a command economy?
