    They really Effed this Upgrade, No Interchanges at 149 or 142 St. Not even a Flyover at 149 st. Knowing the City, I am surprised they didn't narrow the entire Freeway down to One Lane, with 2 Effin Bike Lanes in Each Direction.... They certainly didn't fix the Eastbound Death Merge Lane from Fort Rd. The Victoria Trail Changes are Complete Cluster Fuc*. What is this Citys' Fascination with Double Left Turn Lanes that within 50 - 100ft turn into a Single Lane? Same Bullshit occurs eastbound off the 50st Interchange, eastbound off of St. Albert Trail is the same. Jesus Effin Christ, do any of the Morons in Planning even Drive? As of July 2024, Not even one of the Items on the Chart at 26:56 has been completed, Most have not even been started, but the Yellowhead has seen many Lane Closures, maybe they are changing it to 2 Bike Lanes in each Direction...

      Its been blow $1.00 in the market for more than 30 days, meaning it'll be delisted.. usually something that happens to companies going bankrupt. They have a functioning product, yes. But they also owe a lot of money, so its kinda iffy, scam or not the odd's of them sticking around when Volvo and other companies are right behind them with Hydrogen/electric trucks I'm not sure if it makes sense to a trucking company to purchase a Nikola vs a Volvo I hate to say.

    In Finland the trip with Nikola would have costed roughly 30l/100 km x 1,9€/liter=57€/100 km with diesel and with GREEN hydrogen 5€/kg x (100 km/12 km/kg)=42€/100 km. So 26,3% LESS than with diesel. With GREY hydrogen the price would have been roughly 17€/100 km. Of course the capital cost is still much more but with such economic fuel rate one can see easily the potential especially as in Finland there is a huge growth going on with intermittent wind power that enables to use excess electricity for hydrogen production. For example we have had such a situation during last couple days in the electricity market due to the windy conditions that the Nordic electricity spot price has been several days close to zero and even below - meaning that one has been paid for using electricity. Such a situation would be quite beneficial for very cheap GREEN hydrogen production and may enable GREEN hydrogen prices to achieve the lower GREY hydrogen price levels.

    So 70 kg of hydrogen * 33.333 kwh is 2333.33 kwh, equivalent to the amount of energy in 23 one hundred kwh batteries and they only used 41.6 kg, so they had plenty of hydrogen left, and it would not be difficult to add another 20 or 30 kilograms of hydrogen. Also, as a company driver I never cared what fuel I was burning or how much my boss was paying for it, but there was always enough left for my fat little paycheck.
