Which is a better technology: fuel cells (hydrogen fuel) or EVs?

Clean air, act





In the Paris Olympic, Toyota has volunteered fuel cell hydrogen run cars (no longer ICE) and yet many environmentalists objected to the idea.  

To my mind fuel cell (hydrogen) technology is a better cleaner alternative.  Because there are plenty of blue hydrogen (naturally occurring hydrogen)    Storage and transport is a problem.  But even Elon Musk is shifting to hydrogen and leaving behind EV.  

EV is dependent on strategic metals, the mining of which is less than ideal:   child labor, destruction of forest and scarring mine sites.   Its hard to dispose of old batteries too.   

I go for hydrogen as more sustainable and less polluting.  How about you
