What's funny about this statement is that EVERY1 involved has an "evil agenda"!!!!
It's all moot. All the industries' "agendas" ultimately cancel each other out. In a free marketplace (arguably we don't have that anymore), the best will win out, regardless of agenda.
You're right. What an inane comment. Walmart has an agenda to sell stuff too. Who doesn't?
The best has already won out. Gasoline is powerful, affordable, and used by nearly everyone. If there was something better, it would be dominant.
