If that,s real, big oil will make shure this thing will never see light of the day, you can bet your house on it.
Look at the hybrid cars scam, it takes very little to upgrade a hybrid car to a PHEV (plug in hybrid) which is basically an electric car with combustion engine back-up, yet no car manufacturer dares to produce one (you can buy a conversion kit though making your hybrid into a PHEV).
No car manufacturer dares to produce a PHEV cause they all are all in bed with oil companies.
After being patriotic (and stupid) for 30 years driving American cars I finally woke up like millions of Americans and now I am driving a Toyota.
GM, Ford and Chrysler will go bankrupt soon anyway.
Does your toyota burn rice or gasoline?
I don’t know who is more paranoid about “big oil”....the folks and DU and KOS or in this thread, lol.

No they will adapt to change. If their car public demands it. So long as they don’t run to the closest rice burning farm and buy Toyota’s and make the economy stronger for them instead of us.
Why? They buy oil, expend lots of money finding and drilling for it, and they do still need to refine this bio-mass derived oilh, they won't go out of business, and they're smart enough, or should be anyway, to know that political realities and the public anger at high gas prices will cause the people to hang them if they try to quash such things.
True; however, the government is against plug ins because electrical generation capacity. Californika can't produce enough electricity for air conditioners which cost LIVES, you think the government want dead old people in hot houses while people are plugging in their cars?

A little off basis. Current Hybrid are parallel systems in which the gas and electric work in unison. Series system like the Chevy Volt are as how you describe. The problem is battery technology. Lithium Ion batteries are still in development for large size motors. No car manufacturer dares to produce a PHEV cause they all are all in bed with oil companies.
Wrong, GM has said that its electric platform is the future of the company.

What will government do without collecting the taxes imposed on gasoline? I suspect we will pay those taxes in other forms.
Government makes a lot more money on the oil industry than the typical oil company does.
