Stories about revolutionary dicoveries about auto engines or energy sources appear every six months or whenever there is a spike in oil prices.

Have you ever seen one of these products come to market? The Oil companies buy them off and kill the project?

Surely there is ONE inventor out there who will be true to his patent and make his own millions. Or maybe ONE automaker that can see a ripe plum in new technology?

Or maybe the tabloid press will find a new inventor in six months.

"Surely there is ONE inventor out there who will be true to his patent and make his own millions. Or maybe ONE automaker that can see a ripe plum in new technology?"

 

No, because the oil company says "You either take this Million $$$ or we will give it to somebody that will kill you".  Given that choice, what would you do?
