Is it possible that the oil industry have squelched new technology in order to maintain demand for fossil fuels? Possibly, and this should be the debate.

What is this supposed to mean?

I used to work for an oil/energy research company. And yes, Oil companies do look for and buy up other technologies. One of the companies had a huge interest in photovoltaic cells.

And yes, it is in their financial interest to withhold any new technologies. You would be a fool to think not.

"What is this supposed to mean?"
------I am not dhs12345, but maybe my #294 would provide an answer of sorts, because it was a reply to that statement of his, that I think I understood, and agreed with, and apparently you either don't agree with, or have no idea of what he's talking about. I think my answer is somewhere along the lines of what he's talking about.
