No its not exactly on point, but I think the topics are close enough. Im not trying to spark an argument. Im trying to understand what criteria you use in arriving at some of your views, specifically in the area of government and alternative fuels. I think you are right in stating the free market stimulates technical development. Don't you think the vehicles running on something other than what is mainstream now would be marketable? Yes there are some out there, my point is something is blocking mass production, and I dont thinnk it is lack of consumers or their interest.
