Donate to the Democrat party and hire a lobbyist to write a 2000 page bill that mandates all horseless carriages must carry at least three buggy whips and discourage the use of the horseless carriage as an environmental hazard. Also a loan of half a billion dollars with no interest, never to be repaid for research on how to make buggy whips green. After all we need a sustainable buggy whip environment.
“Donate to the xxx party and hire a lobbyist...mandates...carry...3 buggy whips...” Gee wizz, this kind of sounds like what the oil industry did to kill the electric car, so now we are dependent on our enemies for much of our oil.
In a related development T. Boone Pickens and the Koch brothers are fighting over government involvement in natural gas propelled vehicles. Pickens has a lot of natural gas and wants government help going in that direction. Th Koch brothers had agricultural interests and are afraid the much greater use of natural gas will drive up the price of fertilizer.
