Duane Faust proposed a multi-million dollar development project which includes a hydrogen energy plant and a mass transit system.  However, Duane ran into a few problems – one being the fact that he used SimCity 4 to illustrate his ideas rather than taking the professional route by drafting.  Apparently the City Planning Services are having a huge fuss over this matter calling it absurd and an ‘early April Fools’ joke.

Not only that, but Faust also also stole an image used to illustrate a proposed hydrogen-powered subway system from hydrail.org, a “program designed to promote hydrogen-powered rail systems created by Appalachian State University.”

Guy is probably in deep water now, as he cannot be reached for contact as the telephone numbers to his firms in California and Atlanta have been disconnected.

It was also reported that, “Faust could not be reached for comment. Telephone numbers connected to him and his firms in Atlanta and California have been disconnected.”
